1 3.RL.1 Parent Helper I can ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text and can refer to the text in my answers. Your child is learning to ask and respond to questions about texts they have read and use evidence from the text to support their answers. Who was the main character? Who were the minor characters? What were the main events in the text? Retell the story in order. What in the text made you think that? Which of these details is really important to the story? How does knowing where the story takes place, help you understand the story? Where in the text did you find that key detail? How do you know that it is a key (important) detail? Question Ask/Answer Demonstrate Understanding Key Details Evidence Text You can practice this standard with your child using any fiction text. It is important to remember that your child should be able to look back in the text to find answers and should also be able to show you where they found them. You can also search for different texts being read aloud on YouTube. After your child listens to the story, have them answer the types of questions listed above. Encourage your child to practice writing answers to these questions and not just practice answering them aloud.

2 3.RL.2 Parent Helper I can recount stories, including fables, myths, and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson or moral. Your child is learning to determine the moral of a fable, myth, or folktale. What is the central message in this story? What is the moral of the story? How do you know this is a myth? Fable? Folktale? Recount (retell) the story. What culture is this story from? Recount Fables Myths Folktales Message Moral/Lesson Culture Here are some great examples of texts for this standard: The Boy Who Cried Wolf (traditional) Pushing Up The Sky How Chipmunk Got His Stripes by Joseph Bruchac Turtle s Race with Beaver by Joseph Bruchac How the Stars Fell into the Sky (A Navajo Legend) Aesop s Fables The Wind and the Sun The Tortoise and the Hare The Lion and the Mouse The Ant and the Grasshopper These are particularly fun for practice finding the moral of a story: Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock by Eric A. Kimmel Anansi Goes Fishing by Eric. A. Kimmel Anansi and the Talking Melon by Eric A. Kimmel (Try pairing this story with Chicken Little) You can search Aesop s Fables on YouTube and find lots of videos of the different fables. After the video you can ask your child some of the questions from above. Details

3 3.RL.3 Parent Helper I can describe characters in a story (their traits, motivations, and feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the plot. Your child is learning to describe characters intrinsically and how this propels the story forward. Who are the characters in the story? Who is the main character? How did respond to the challenge in the story? What challenge did face? How do the character s actions move the plot along? What caused to do? Would have done if hadn t happened? How could the character have responded differently? Events Challenges Problem Solution Traits/Motivation Feelings You can practice this standard with your child using any fiction text. It is important to remember that your child should be able to look back in the text to find answers and should also be able to show you where they found them. Alexander, Who s Not (Do you hear me? I mean it!) Going to Move! By Judith Viorst Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus by Barbara Park The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper Sylvester and the Magic Pebble by William Steig Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell Cam Jansen by David A. Adler Nate the Great by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary

4 3.RL.4 Parent Helper I can determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, distinguishing literal from non-literal language. Your child is learning to read texts with more complex literary devices including non-literal language. This can be very confusing if your child has not been exposed to much non-literal language. What does mean in this sentence? What do you think the author is trying to say when he/she uses that phrase? What clues can you find in the sentence or paragraph to help you figure out the meaning of that word or phrase? Detemine Phrases Literal Non-Literal Context Clues Distinguish Amelia Bedelia books are a great series to use to teach the difference between literal and non-literal language. Amelia Bedelia often gets the two mixed up and does lots of silly things. Examples of non-literal language: Your eyes are bigger than your stomach. It s raining cats and dogs. You have a heart of gold. I am as sick as a dog. Break a leg. What does agitated mean in this sentence: Mom was agitated there were toys everywhere on the floor. What does agitated mean in this sentence: The washer agitated the clothes in the machine so they could get nice and clean.

5 3.RL.5 Parent Helper I can refer to parts of stories, dramas, and poems when writing or speaking about a text. I can use terms like chapter, stanza, and scene. Your child is learning to tell about the structure of a text they have read. What is the difference between a story, poem, and play? What are scenes used for in a play? What are chapters used for in a book? What are stanzas used for in a poem? Chapter Stanza Scene Verse Poetry/Poem Drama/Play Chapter/Story You can practice this standard with your child using any fiction text. It is important to remember that your child should be able to look back in the text to find answers and should also be able to show you where they found them. Plays by Joseph Bruchac The Strongest One Pushing Up The Sky Star Sisters Poetry Books Where The Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein The New Kid on the Block by Jack Prelutsky You can read any short story with multiple characters to your child and challenge them to rewrite it as a play. Discuss how it would be different from the story. How would it be the same?

6 3.RL.6 Parent Helper I can distinguish my own point of view from the narrator s or the characters in the story. Your child is learning to differentiate between their point of view and the point of view being conveyed in the story. Who is telling the story in this text? How do you know? Who is the narrator? Is this text written in first or third person? Do you agree with the author s message? How would you feel if you were? How do you feel about what has happened in the text so far? Distinguish Point of View Narrator Dialogue Opinion First Person Third Person What is the author s message? Do you agree with the author s message? The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry The Lorax by Dr. Seuss Big Al by Andrew Clements The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein Here are some fun examples of stories told from differing points of view: Cinderella (traditional) Seriously, Cinderella is So Annoying by Trisha Speed Shaskan Little Red Riding Hood (traditional) Honestly, Red Riding Hood Was Rotten! By Trisha Speed Shaskan Goldilocks and the Three Bears (traditional) Believe Me, Goldilocks Rocks! By Nancy Loewen Jack and The Beanstalk (traditional) Trust Me, Jack s Beanstalk Stinks! By Eric Braun The Three Little Pigs (traditional) The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka

7 3.RL.7 Parent Helper I can explain how parts of the illustrations go with the words in the story to create a mood, explain a character, or describe a setting. Your child is learning to use pictures to help them better understand characters, setting, and mood of a text. What does the illustration tell you about the character? What does the illustration tell you about the mood of the story? What mood does the illustration convey? How did the illustration help you understand what is happening in the story? What do the illustrations make you think of the character? Convey Mood Setting Plot Illustrations You can practice this standard with your child using any fiction text. When reading a book with your child, cover up the words on a few pages with post it notes. Have your child explain what they see in the pictures before you read the page. (See example below.) Discuss everything you see happening in the illustrations and see if there are parts that the author did not describe in the words of the story. Discuss the importance of studying the pictures for clues to help understand the text. Example: Look at the Fish s face. What character trait might you use to describe him? What is the mood of this page in the text? What do you know about the characters based on what you see in the illustrations?

8 3.RL.9 Parent Helper I can compare and contrast the themes, settings, and plots of stories written by the same author about the same characters. Your child is learning to read different books by the same author and compare the characters. How are the stories alike? Different? How is the character the same in the two stories? How is the character different? Is the setting the same in the stories, or different? Does the character have the same character traits in both stories? Setting Plot Theme Compare/Contrast Culture Author Traits You can practice this standard with your child using series books or books by the same author that include the same characters in the different stories. It is important to remember that your child should be able to look back in the text to find answers and should also be able to show you where they found them. Alexander Series by Judith Viorst Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Alexander, Who s Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday Junie B. Jones Series by Barbara Park Anansi Series by Eric A. Kimmel Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock Anansi and The Talking Melon Anansi Goes Fishing Amelia Bedelia Series by Peggy Parrish

9 3.RL.10 Parent Helper I can read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poetry. Your child is learning to read and respond to third grade literature. What kind of text is this? How are the stories (poems/plays) alike? Different? What is the main idea of this text? Does this story remind you of any others you have read? Is this poem like other poems the author has written? Have you ever read a story like this before? Write answers to respond to any of the above questions. Poetry Drama/Play Story Illustrations Literature Author Comprehend You can practice this standard with your child using any fiction text. It is important to remember that your child should be able to look back in the text to find answers and should also be able to show you where they found them. By the end of third grade your child should be able to read and comprehend texts that are on grade level. Check with your child s teacher to determine your child s current reading level and how you can help them move toward that goal. Book series for third graders: Magic Tree House Nate the Great Amelia Bedelia Ricky Ricotta s MIGHTY ROBOT Diary of a Wimpy Kid Arthur chapter books (by Marc Brown) Cam Jansen Mysteries Ramona Quimby Nancy Drew Notebooks Babysitter s Club
