Description
These 3rd grade January reading lessons give you four weeks of read aloud lessons and activities.
Rooted in Reading for 3rd grade gives you everything you need to build a love of reading in your classroom. Each week centers on a read aloud. You read the book throughout the week and model how to think deeply, ask questions, and monitor comprehension, while students work through activities made for 3rd grade.
