Workbook Details:
This resource covers all learning standards and elaborations related to conventions and reading strategies in the British Columbia Curriculum (ELA). The 434 pages teach the Big Ideas, learning standards, and elaborations found in the curriculum.

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 learning standards students in grade 3 need to learn while working with these word lists.

Included in this resource are the learning standards below:

Conventions – common practices in punctuation of sentences and in apostrophe use in contractions

Reading Strategies – using illustrations to predict meaning, retelling, phonics, sight words, does it sound right, look right, make sense?

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

Sentence structure – the structure of compound sentences

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.
