What Your Third Grader Will Learn

Your Third Grader Will Learn
Top 10 skills your child should learn this year.

This will be the last year devoted to teaching the very basic skills in reading, writing and math. More time is spent teaching new and more sophisticated skills as opposed to review. Most teachers will begin to assign regular nightly home work and to teach organization skills.

Every school differs in expectations. Ask the teacher for the district's goal or, state benchmarks for this grade.

Identify the plot, setting, and main characters
of a story.
