Goal: North Dakota academic standards: English language arts, Grade 3

## 1. Third Grade · Recognize and use parts of speech in sentences:

- [Correlative Conjunctions](https://ai.page/c/correlative-conjunctions/index.md): Use correlative conjunctions correctly in sentences, pairing words such as either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but also, and whether/or
- [Grammar Terms: Clauses and Conjunctions](https://ai.page/c/grammar-terms-clauses-and-conjunctions/index.md): Use and understand Year 3 grammatical terminology accurately when discussing reading and writing: preposition, conjunction, word family, prefix, clause, subordinate clause, direct speech, consonant letter, vowel letter, inverted commas/speech marks
- [Abstract nouns](https://ai.page/c/abstract-nouns/index.md): Understand and use abstract nouns to name ideas, qualities, and states that cannot be perceived by the senses

## 2. Third Grade · Compose simple and compound declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory sentences.

- [Starting and Ending Sentences](https://ai.page/c/starting-and-ending-sentences/index.md): Begin sentences with a capital letter and end them with the appropriate mark (full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark); recognise and name end punctuation

## 3. Third Grade · Develop and strengthen writing utilizing the five steps appropriate to the task and purpose.

- [Sharing and Publishing Your Writing](https://ai.page/c/sharing-and-publishing-your-writing/index.md): Read own writing aloud clearly enough to be heard by peers and the teacher; use digital tools to produce and publish writing
- [Revising and editing (age 7+)](https://ai.page/c/revising-and-editing-age-7/index.md): Evaluate and edit writing by assessing effectiveness, proposing changes to grammar and vocabulary for consistency, and proof-reading for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors at Y3-4 level
- [Writing Process Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/writing-process-vocabulary/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of the writing process — compose, plan, draft, revise, edit, proofread, genre, audience, purpose, narrative, recount, instruction, paragraph, sequence, and detail — and understand that these words describe distinct steps and decisions that all writers make, not just tasks to tick off

## 4. Third Grade · Analyze a variety of fiction and poetry texts.

- [Poems, Drama & Prose](https://ai.page/c/poems-drama-and-prose/index.md): Explain major differences between poems, drama, and prose, identifying structural elements unique to each form: verse, rhythm, and meter in poetry; cast of characters, dialogue, and stage directions in drama; chapters and paragraphs in prose
- [Character Traits and Motivation](https://ai.page/c/character-traits-and-motivation/index.md): Analyse character traits, motivations, and feelings using text evidence, and distinguish one's own point of view from that of the narrator or characters

## 5. Third Grade · Use new academic, content-specific, grade-level vocabulary to make connections to previously learned words and relate new words to background knowledge.

- [Using New Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/using-new-vocabulary/index.md): Use words and phrases acquired through conversations, being read to, and responding to texts in own speech and writing

## 6. Third Grade · Encode words with phoneme-grapheme correspondences:

- [Prefixes and suffixes](https://ai.page/c/prefixes-and-suffixes/index.md): Read words containing common prefixes and suffixes from the Y3-4 programme, applying knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes (morphology and etymology) to read aloud and understand new words
- [Consonant Digraphs](https://ai.page/c/consonant-digraphs/index.md): Read and spell words containing consonant digraphs and less common consonant spellings (ch, sh, th, ck, tch, ng, ph, wh, k for /k/)

## 7. Third Grade · Decode words with phoneme-grapheme correspondences:

- [Greek and Latin Roots for Word Meaning](https://ai.page/c/greek-and-latin-roots-for-word-meaning/index.md): Use knowledge of Greek and Latin affixes (prefixes and suffixes) and roots as clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words, building a bank of common roots and their meanings
- [Syllables (age 6+)](https://ai.page/c/syllables-age-6/index.md): Decode words of two or more syllables by breaking them into syllable chunks, applying knowledge that every syllable must contain a vowel sound, and blending the parts together
