3rd Grade Daily Reading Spiral Review for March New ELA TEKS

With the implementation of the new ELAR TEKS this year, having a daily spiral review in your toolbox that reviews all the readiness and supporting TEKS for reading is a MUST!! DAILY READING READY© is a standards-based program that follows a research-based model of continuous, systematic instruction, building from simple to complex to help students learn and retain skills.  In this 3rd grade unit for March, students practice reading & vocabulary skills in 10-15 minute daily lessons. Skills taught in this unit include:

• author’s purpose & craft
• author’s use of language
• cause & effect
• central idea & supporting evidence
• context clues
• dictionary
• genre – expository/informational & persuasive text
• images/words/graphics/sounds to impact meaning
• informational text features
• making inferences & drawing conclusions
• meaning of unfamiliar/multiple-meaning words
• organizational patterns of text
• prefixes & suffixes
• print/graphic features
• sequence & summary
• supporting understanding with textual evidence
• synonyms & antonyms
• theme

How it Works:

Monday – Thursday, students will read a brief passage and:

• answer 2 rigorous, multiple-choice questions
• complete 1 exit ticket (a short, 1-2 minute formative assessment linked to the objective of that day’s lessons)

On Friday, students will read a short passage and complete a brief, 2-page formal assessment with 10 rigorous, multiple-choice questions that measure their understanding of the skills taught during the week. *A list of key terms is also included for teacher reference, or to send home with students to review with parents before the weekly assessments.

*This unit is part of our full-year 3rd Grade DAILY READING READY© Bundle (34 weeks of daily lessons & weekly assessments). The program is designed so that all assessed 3rd grade reading TEKS are covered and reviewed before the STAAR Reading Test; the daily lessons & assessments after the STAAR test will continue to review the 3rd grade reading skills until the end of the school year.

**Though this DAILY READING READY© unit was made with our Texas teacher friends in mind, it is also aligned with 3rd grade CCSS, making it easily usable by any 3rd grade teacher teaching reading all over the U.S.**

***Suggested use with our 3rd Grade READING READY Task Cards©.
