3rd Grade

Alabama Course of Study Standards: 32

Apply knowledge of grade-appropriate phoneme-grapheme correspondences, multisyllabic word construction, syllable division rules, and spelling rules (or generalizations) to encode words accurately.
  1. Apply knowledge of multisyllabic word construction and syllable division principles to encode multisyllabic words.
    Examples: VC/CV, V/CV, VC/V, CV/VC; com-mit-ment, e-vent, ev-er-y, po-et
  2. Encode multisyllabic words, using common syllable patterns: open/closed, vowel-r, vowel-consonant-e, vowel teams, consonant-le, and odd or schwa syllables.
  3. Encode words with two and three letter blends and previously taught digraphs, trigraphs, combinations, diphthongs, quadrigraph eigh, vowel y, hard and soft c and g, silent letter combinations, and contractions.
  4. Encode words with less common prefixes, suffixes, and common Latin roots.
    Examples: prefixes: fore-, pro-, intra-, inter-, trans-, non-, over-, sub-, super-, semi-, anti-, mid-, ex-, post- suffixes: -y, -ly, -ful, -ment, -hood, -less, -ness, -er, -or, -en Latin roots: port, form, ject, spect, dict, tend, fer
  5. Encode frequently confused homophones accurately, using context to determine correct spelling.
    Examples: hear/here; night/knight; tacks/tax
