What the 3rd Grade grammar and writing worksheets cover
The pages at this grade, most numerous first, are Fix The Sentence, Sentence Builder, Copywork, Sort And Write and Word Hunt. Each sheet is marked with the week it was written for, weeks 1 to 35 of Phonics, Decoding, and Early Fluency, 3rd Grade, so practice can follow the lesson it belongs to.
New at this grade: Copywork. Carried on from 2nd Grade: Capitalization and Punctuation; Edit and Repair; Parts of Speech; and Sentence Building.
The sets with the most practice to draw on are Sentence Building; Capitalization and Punctuation; and Edit and Repair.
What the 3rd Grade sheets practice, set by set
- Capitalization and Punctuation: Commas and quotation marks are added: the child puts the comma into a compound sentence and the quotation marks around what someone said.
- Edit and Repair: Each page pairs a missing apostrophe (The shepherds staff) with a misspelled word.
- Parts of Speech: The same three-way sort uses longer words, such as auditorium, entrance, throw and write.
- Sentence Building: The sentences run to twelve words, with harder words such as spectator and costume.
- Copywork: There is no tracing: the verse is about twelve words, copied, and then completed with its missing words, put back in order or written from memory.
The 3rd Grade clusters
- Grammar — Capitalization and Punctuation; Edit and Repair; Parts of Speech; and Sentence Building.
- Writing — Copywork.
Common questions
- Which 3rd Grade grammar and writing worksheets are free?
- The first three worksheets in every set. The free sheets are always practice pages, never answer keys; All Access opens the rest and every key.
- Do the 3rd Grade grammar and writing worksheets come with answer keys?
- Yes. Every worksheet has its own answer key. The keys are included with All Access.
- Where should a third grader start?
- Start with the skill your child is learning now rather than at the top of the page. Each set page says what the skill is, when a child is ready for it and what to do if they struggle.
