Grade 3 Language Arts
The goal of the Language Arts curriculum is to teach children to use language thoughtfully and to express and receive information and ideas.
Children learn to read and write in the same way that they learn to speak-that is, by using their emerging literacy in meaningful situations. In school, we provide children with numerous opportunities to listen, speak, read, and write. The necessary details of reading and writing are taught most effectively in contexts meaningful to the student.
The Language Arts curriculum includes listening and speaking as necessary parts of reading and writing; and it presents a variety of literary experiences to inject meaning and enjoyment into the process of learning to read and write.
