Every Grade 3 reading passage in three forms: printable, read aloud, and with Content Language Support.
PURPOSE
This page gathers every Grade 3 reading passage in one place, so a teacher can find the right text for any cluster, module, and stamina level.
RATIONALE
Each passage grows through four stamina levels, from Low in Module 1 to Very High in Module 4, so reading stamina builds right alongside the writing. Hearing a passage read aloud and seeing key words as pictures give every student a way into the same text.
HOW TO USE THIS PAGE
Open a printable passage by cluster and module, play a passage read by Randi Whitney for students to follow along, or open a Content Language Support passage for a student still learning English.
