Reading Operations

    Word Recognition, Fluency, Vocabulary
The learner will be able to understand the basic features of words. They select letter patterns and know how to translate them into spoken language using phonics (an understanding of the different letters that make different sounds), syllables, word parts (un-, -ful), and context clues (the meaning of the text around a word). They apply this knowledge to achieve fluent (smooth and clear) oral and silent reading.

Vocabulary

    3.1.4
The learner will be able to determine the meanings of words using knowledge of synonyms (words with the same meaning), antonyms (words with opposite meanings), homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings), and homographs (words that are spelled the same but have different meanings). Example: Understand that words, such as fair and fare, are said the same way but have different meanings. Know the difference between two meanings of the word lead when used in sentences, such as "The pencil has lead in it" and "I will lead the way." .

Reading Operations

    READING: Comprehension
The learner will be able to read and understand grade-level-appropriate material. They use a variety of comprehension strategies, such as asking and responding to essential questions, making predictions, and comparing information from several sources to understand what is read. The selections in the Indiana Reading List (available online at www.doe.state.in.us/standards/readinglist.html) illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. In addition to their regular school reading, at Grade 3, students read a variety of grade-level-appropriate narrative (story) and expository (informational and technical) texts, including classic and contemporary literature, poetry, children's magazines and newspapers, reference materials, and online information.
