Workbook Details:
This resource covers all skills and procedures in the organizing ideas: Vocabulary, Conventions, Phonics, and Fluency (ELA). The 409 pages teach the skills and procedures in these four curriculum areas.

Included in this unit are 30 weeks of ELA instruction, with weekly word lists that explicitly teach consonant clusters as well as vowel teams. Along with these Science of Reading principles, we have weaved in the skills and procedures students in grade 3 need to learn while working with these word lists.

Included in this resource are the organizing ideas below:

Vocabulary – figurative language, tier 2 and tier 3 words, synonyms, antonyms, homographs and homophones

Fluency – developing automaticity in reading complex words, phrases, and continuous text. Also, students will read the over 300 high frequency words fluently and with expression, and appropriate pace.

Phonics – consonant clusters at the beginning and ending of words, as well as diagraphs, silent letters, and long/short vowel sounds.

Conventions – sentence types, contractions, apostrophes, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization skills.

In addition, we have included a full-year long range plan that outlines what concepts from the curriculum you will be teaching each week, and what prefixes/suffixes/letter blends will be covered.

Some of the concepts covered:

• Complete sentences versus fragments
