3rd Grade Vocabulary Handouts (by date, oldest first)

These graphic organizers will help you to seamlessly implement word studies!

I have two options so you can choose which one will work better for your students! I also included a handout so that they could have a visual and definitions of what a prefix, suffix, root word, and base word is.

I also include examples of how to use the graphic organizers!

Students will complete the story by filling in the blanks with the correct sight words. There is a word bank to help with spelling, but students will use some of the sight words multiple times. This would be a great product for morning work and even a quick assessment. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

The Handy Dandy Speller is a spelling dictionary for students to keep in their Writing Folders. If they need help spelling a word, they can look in their Handy Dandy Speller. If the word is not there, they can add it to their Handy Dandy Speller for next time. The Handy Dandy Speller is a handy and fun tool for learners. The Handy Speller has fun shapes, so students will enjoy writing the words inside the shapes. I hope you enjoy this product. Please provide a rating and feedback. Thank you so very much!

Objective:
Help students identify the verb in a sentence, enhancing their understanding of sentence structure and improving their reading and writing skills.

What is a Verb?
A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being. It is a crucial part of a sentence, as it often tells what the subject is doing.

Types of Verbs:

1. Action Verbs: Describe physical or mental actions (e.g., run, think, play).
2. Linking Verbs: Connect the subject to additional information (e.g., is, are, seem).
3. Helping Verbs: Assist main verbs to express tense, mood, or voice (e.g., have, will, can).

How to Identify the Verb:

1. Ask Questions:

• Who is doing something? (Subject)
• What are they doing? (Action/Linking Verb)

1. Look for Action Words:

• Words that show what the subject is doing are usually verbs.

1. Identify Linking Verbs:

• If the sentence describes a state of being or connects the subject to more information, find the linking verb.

1. Check for Helping Verbs:

• Look for auxiliary verbs that accompany a main verb.

Practice Activity:

1. Read the following sentences:

• The cat jumps over the fence.
• She is a great artist.
• They will be attending the concert.

1. Identify the verbs and classify them as action, linking, or helping.

Tips for Success:

• Remember that a sentence can have more than one verb.
• Use the context of the sentence to determine the correct verb if it’s not immediately clear.
• Practice with varied sentence structures to become more comfortable identifying verbs.

Conclusion:
Recognizing verbs is essential for mastering language skills. Encourage students to practice regularly and apply their knowledge in writing and reading exercises.
