In the third grade, the importance of reading continues to grow as it becomes an integrated part of every subject area. Your child's classwork and homework assignments will require him to read independently, comprehend the material and then discuss or write about it. In addition to improving comprehension skills, your third grade reader will be expected to:

  • Continue to build sight vocabulary and increase word recognition
  • Continue to improve reading fluency
  • Recognize word patterns, including suffixes and inflectional endings
  • Identify compound words
  • Continue to broaden phonics knowledge, including diphthongs and digraphs
  • Begin word study, including recognizing the root of a word
  • And much more…

  

Don't wait! Help your third grader become a better reader today.

Parents believe in Sylvan

"My daughter started this program with no confidence to read and really struggled; she now wants to read to me all the time. Her school told me that she would never make it through the third grade and now they are telling me she will have no problem. I cannot thank you enough."
