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.
