3rd Grade Writing Handouts

We all have opinions - but it isn’t always easy to say why we have a specific opinion. Challenge your students to state their opinion in a clear sentence, then write sentences that support their opinion. Each topic also prompts students to think of an opinion outside of their own and compare. This no-prep resource has writing prompts every step of the way to help your students write with critical thinking skills. Students can write their opinion paragraphs independently, or together as a class.

As students are learning the 41 - 3rd grade sight words in this product, they will be provided with each word, an example of the word used in a sentence, and the opportunity to make up a sentence themselves using the word. I find that with my students who are Deaf/hard of hearing/ELL, when they make up sentences using each newly learned sight word, it helps them to remember how to spell the word, the meaning, and how it is used. My students love booklets of any kind that they can refer back to. Once they have come up with their sentences, they can include pictures that they print and cut out, draw pictures freehand, or find pictures in a magazine that they can add to each page of the 3rd grade sight word booklet that matches each sentence they come up with. This gives students the opportunity to connect what they are learning about in the classroom with their own personal interests. This booklet is perfect for students that are on grade level as well as students who require instructional information to be adapted.
