FREE 3rd Grade Reading Comprehension Passages [Nonfiction and Fiction]
David Whitney JR

Outstanding Resource for Target Reading Practice!

This freebie is an absolute gem for anyone teaching reading comprehension in third grade! Finding high-quality passages that balance both fiction and nonfiction can be a challenge, but this resource delivers beautiful, age-appropriate text for both genres.The layout is clean, straightforward, and highly engaging for students. I love how the text-dependent questions push students to look back into the passage for evidence without being overwhelming. It works perfectly as a quick diagnostic tool, an independent center activity, or part of a targeted reading intervention block. For a free resource, the quality and alignment to third-grade standards are exceptional. It is an easy, zero-prep way to supplement any reading curriculum!

3rd Grade Math Sketch Notes Doodle Pages Year-Long Bundle
David Whitney JR

The Ultimate Resource for Engaging Math Routines!

This year-long math bundle is absolutely phenomenal and has completely transformed how my students interact with math concepts! If you are looking for a way to boost engagement and improve long-term retention, this is the perfect resource.The visual layout of the sketch notes allows my third graders to synthesize complex math skills into bite-sized, digestible parts. My students look forward to completing these doodle pages, and it serves as an incredible tool for both visual and kinesthetic learners. It covers the entire year of third-grade standards seamlessly, making it a highly reliable, zero-prep addition to our weekly math routines or interactive notebooks. The pages are clean, beautifully designed, and highly effective for review and reference. I cannot recommend this bundle enough to any third-grade educator!

3rd Grade Grammar Bundle | Grammar Worksheets, Units, Practice & Assessments
David Whitney JR

Gamechanger!

This bundle has completely transformed how I teach grammar in my classroom! Having a consistent, predictable routine for all 30 topics makes my planning effortless and keeps my students focused on learning rather than figuring out new directions.The weekly structure is perfect: the PowerPoints are highly engaging for introducing skills on Mondays, and the transition through independent worksheets, task cards, and interactive sketch notes keeps the students fully involved all week. My students especially love the sketch notes day! Ending the week with the Friday assessments—including the seamless digital Google Forms versions—makes tracking data and grading incredibly simple. It is comprehensive, perfectly aligned to third-grade standards, and requires absolutely zero prep. I highly recommend it!

Julie Wallace

Do you have a few pictures of a completed literary lap book that you could share with me?

Teacher Thrive

Hello Julie. I only have the images that are included in the instruction pages for each foldable.

The Mathtermind Teacher

Is this going to be beneficial for 4th through 8th grade GATE students?

Teacher Thrive

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, absolutely! I know of several GATE teachers that use this!

mrswheelershields

Would you be open to making a bundle of just the icons in color and black and white?

Jaime Guidry

Hello. We do not have plans to create these separately at this time, but you can print them in black and white.

Myriah B.

I saw your response in 2017 about not intending to make these digital and am asking again as we are fully remote for at least our first quarter and would love this as a resource!

Teacher Thrive

Hi Myriah. We don’t have plans to create digital versions of these resources at this time. You are allowed to adapt the current resources to use online with just your students, however.

Karla Hess

Purchased the mega bundle a few years ago and love it, any chance that any of the resources will be made digital anytime soon?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Karla! I don't have immediate plans for a digital versions, at this time. Thank you for asking.

Charlotte Hollinger

Hi. Would this be good for 3rd grade as well? Thank you.

Teacher Thrive

Hello! Many of the resources can be adapted for third grade, but to be honest, I don't think the entire bundle will be appropriate. You might want to start with the Fairytales resource, and then see what you think. You can always buy a few items and then if you decide you want to entire bundle later, you can buy it and tpt will give you a refund for the individual items.

Kristin Simcox

I love all of your resources! I bought the Critical Thinking Mats, and Book Club files earlier this year, but I realized now that there is a bundle where those are included. I was wondering if I buy the bundle, is there anyway I could be pro-rated or would I just pay for those files twice? (Hopefully that makes sense!) Thank you for all of your hard work - anything I buy from you, I know will be high quality/high-level thinking for my students!
Thanks! Kristin

Hi Kristin! If you buy the bundle, I can initiate a refund for the Thinking Mats and Book Club. Just email after you purchase the bundle with your username and dates of purchased of the Thinking Mats and Book Club. GotToTeach@icloud.com

Sara J.

This looks great! My students loved the depth and complexity questions for Hatchet. We are about to start The Westing Game, so I was going to see if I could apply your literature circle questions in my lessons. Do you have a blog? I would love to see how you use these and all of the other items in this bundle!

Teacher Thrive

Hi Sara! Thank you. I do have a blog but it does not focus on Depth and Complexity. The literature circles and task cards can work with any book. In fact, I have had many teachers use them with The Westing Game. Great book! www.GotToTeach.com

litmaven

I answered my own question! Sorry! (Edited)

Teacher Thrive

No worries. Email me if you have any questions. GotToTeach@icloud.com

Angie R.

Will you be making any Depth and Complexity Cards for Math?? Thanks! :)

Teacher Thrive

Hi Angie. At this time I do not have plans to make anymore DC resources. Thank you for your interest, though.
