Grade 3 – Monthly Handout for April 2018

English Language Arts

Unit – 1: Our Classroom Community

Read Aloud: The teacher reads aloud a book to the whole group. In doing so, she models appropriate reading behavior such as expression, intonation and fluency. The students actively listen to the teacher, connect the pictures to the text if there are any, and make sense of the text.

Books for Read Alouds are chosen for different reasons; introducing a variety of genres, books with rich language, books the students cannot read yet, rereading favorites, comparing books, and so on.

Read Aloud for this month will be –

!! Chrysanthemum !! The way I act !! The way I feel !! The skin you live in !! The OK book !! The best part of me !! Dreams around the world

Choral/Shared Reading: Choral/Shared reading is reading aloud in unison as a whole class or in a group of students. This reading helps build students’ fluency, self-confidence, and motivation. The teacher also models proper phrasing, expression, intonation, and fluency and the students repeat the same.

Shared reading for this month will be-

Buddy Reading: Students read with a classmate. They gain comfort in reading with a friend. Partnering with a variety of classmates over time allows the students to be in a number of positions in this reading situation.

Guided Reading: The teacher reads with small groups of students who are at the same reading level. Each student has their own book. The teacher works with students to develop independent reading skills. Students learn to use various reading strategies (context clues, letter & sound relationships, word structure, and so on) to decode words and make meaning.

Independent Reading: Students read “just right” books of their choice individually. They are encouraged to read from a variety of genres.

Modeled Writing: The teacher models writing a variety of text in front of the class, thinking aloud and at the same time including punctuation, spelling strategies, making sure the writing makes sense, and so on. Students often reread the text after it is complete.

Shared Writing: The teacher records ideas as students share them aloud as a class. Occasionally, if the teacher chooses, students will share the pen & do some of the writing as well.

Guided Writing: The teacher meets with small groups of students who have similar writing levels or who need support with the same writing strategies. The teacher works with the students to develop skills to help build independence in writing according to their needs.

Individual Writing: Students write independently, either in response to a prompt from the teacher, from experiences in their own lives, or through using their imagination. They practice the strategies modeled over time by the teacher and from their experiences with a variety of literature in daily life.
