3rd Grade Vocabulary Lesson Plans

9 plans covering the vocabulary topics 3rd grade actually teaches. Each one is a full lesson: objective, timed steps, a check for understanding, and the practice pages to hand out.

What vocabulary looks like in 3rd grade

Third grade vocabulary handles figurative language. Idioms, similes, homophones and the affixes that let a reader decode an unfamiliar word.

Third grade is the pivot from learning to read to reading to learn, and from counting to multiplying. It is the grade where gaps from earlier years become visible.
