Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 3
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Once they have mastered literacy skills in earlier grades, 3rd graders develop into more proficient and self-reliant readers. Third grade reading emphasizes helping children learn to think and discuss their reading in more profound and detailed manners. Students engage with lengthier texts, and the majority read fictional chapter books.
Numerous reading lessons for 3rd graders focus on discussing and writing about the meanings, lessons, and key concepts found in texts. Third graders are prompted to form their own opinions regarding the books they read and to talk about their thoughts on a text or the characters. Series books play a vital role in 3rd grade, as they enable students to link various books and discuss the development of specific characters. As third graders delve into a wider variety of books and extended texts, they enhance their reading fluency and acquire skills to read, define, and pronounce intricate words.
This lesson plan will help you teach guided reading to your grade 3 students.
