Top 200 Words Kids Need to Know 3rd | Spelling Word Families Reading Vocabulary

Watch your learner's reading, spelling, fluency, and word knowledge skills SOAR while taking this class designed specifically for 3rd grade learners! 

We follow a research-proven successful teaching and learning model: 
🧠Learn it! 
✍️Spell it! 
📖Read it! 
🗣️Use it!

Here is what one Outschool parent had to say about this class:
💬"The way this class is structured helped my 9 yo catch up on spelling! He was definitely behind, and now he spells words out loud for fun (never thought I'd hear that!). Great teacher!"


This class is SUCCESSFUL at teaching young learners NEW spelling, vocabulary and sight words because it is: 
✅ Engaging 
✅ Participatory 
✅ Active 
✅ Addresses Different Learning Styles 
✅ Employs the use of TEN Learning Modalities 
✅ Is FUN! 
When kids are engaged and having fun, they are learning without even knowing it! 

Learners will be creating a set of flash cards during each class so they can continue practicing the words after class ends. After completing 20 weeks of this course, they will have a collection of the 200 "must know" words for 3rd grade and will be ready to move on to my next course for 4th graders! 

During class, we use a learning platform called Kahoot to learn and practice spelling the words. A link to the Kahoot is sent after class so learners can continue to play the game after class ends! **Learners will need to be able to open a 2nd tab on their computer to access the game OR they can use a second device such as a phone or tablet. 

My effective teaching method employs the use of TEN learning modalities when teaching the new words. Learners will:
👀 look at each word and identify spelling patterns
💬 read each word aloud
🔠 spell each word
✍ write each new word (on an index card to make a set of flashcards)
🔨 break some words down into prefixes, suffixes, root words, and syllables 
📚 identify synonyms and antonyms of each word; homophones; and compound words
🎯 make connections to the words and themselves and their experiences
👓 identify critical attributes of each word; discuss multiple meanings and parts of speech
📝 make up sentences using the words
👁 look at a visual representation of the word as used in a sentence  

This course is designed for elementary learners in grade 3 and English as a Second Language learners to master new vocabulary and spelling terms that appear on standardized assessments and in the texts they are reading.
