3rd Grade Reading Activities

Do your students need highly engaging morning meeting digital resources or a picture of the day to start off their morning? Morning Meeting Picture Slides are important to utilize to develop strong relationships with students and peer-to-peer relationships.  The picture of the day allows for deeper conversations and the building of a strong classroom community, which in turn raises academic achievement skills. The digital resource has many diverse pictures where everyone can feel represented.

How I Use Picture of The Day

We use a picture of the day every morning during our morning meeting routine. The morning meeting slides are projected on our screen for all students to see. Students are asked to infer, visualize, synthesize, and create connections with the picture. Looking closely at a picture is an important reading skill for students to develop to create inferences about what they are reading. 

Additionally, The picture of the day can be used for writing prompts or centers. Students can look at the picture and write a story based on the picture. 

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners. You could assign one or more morning meeting slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention

The topics and what is included:

• 180 pages of editable Google Slides. 
• Diverse, beautiful pictures.
• Pictures were either taken by me or were purchased stock photos. 
• No worksheets.

Where Stories Come Alive

These holiday sight word cards make a fun holiday literacy center or holiday sight word game for students to enjoy while practicing sight words from the third grade word list.

These sight word cards have a variety of uses in the classroom from games, to instructional tools, to center props.

Ways to Use

• Flash Cards
• Memory Game
• Sand or Salt Tray Cards
• Writing Center Reference Cards
• Place in Alphabetical Order
• Write the Room

Each word is printed on its own themed card for students to use to practice reading, writing and spelling each sight word.

Sets Included:

• The Christmas cards have the sight words printed on Christmas trees.
• The Halloween cards have the sight words printed on pumpkins or candy corn.
• The Valentine's Day cards have the sight words printed on hearts of various shades of purple, pink and red.
• The St. Patrick's Day cards have the sight words of shamrocks of different patterns.
• The Easter cards have the sight words printed on Easter eggs of different patterns.
• The Patriotic cards have the sight words printed on red, white and blue stars.
• The Thanksgiving cards have the sight words printed on turkeys.

This product contains all 41 third grade sight words:

about, better, bring, carry, clean, cut, done, draw, drink, eight, fall, far, full, got, grow, hold, hot, hurt, if, keep, kind, laugh, light, long, much, myself, never, only, own, pick, seven, shall, show, six, small, start, ten, today, together, try, warm

French Decodable activities that align with the Science of Reading in the K-2 French classroom. Students work on their phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, decoding and encoding skills and as they master the target sound.

Make a few copies of each card and insert into clear pockets to create a quick and easy reading centre; arrange a table with four copies to create a quiet reading group; use one-on-one with your students to assess reading levels, to gain insights to their decoding skills, encoding skills, and to inform your upcoming lesson plans. Students use whiteboard markers to sound out each sound in the word, each syllable, or each word in the sentence. What a great way to build confidence! Whatever way you choose to use this resource, I am so grateful that you have given this item a try!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple sentence strips to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

Science of Reading:

These cards are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven sentence strips on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

If you love this resource:

***1. French SOR Sound Cards

***2. French Decodable Reading

***3. Roles et Responsabilites

***4. French Number Line

***5. French Attention Grabbers

***6. French Speaking Passport

***7. French Pyramid Reading

Some of the Benefits of this resource:

1. Students use hands on materials
2. Boost confidence in French language acquisition with whole group, small group, independent work, and one-to-one instruction using the same resource
3. Word wall and pocket chart for class focus and sound focus activities
4. Students grow in independence at their own pace
5. Reinforce decoding and encoding skills
6. Social wellness and personal autonomy in using French in the classroom
7. Scaffold and support language acquisition, oral communication, and writing skills
8. Card set can be used all year long and re-introduced each year going forward
