Plan, Track, and Teach the Grade 3 ELA Standards with Ease!

As educators, we understand that planning can be challenging at times. Many school districts do not offer the tools and organizational resources necessary to assist new teachers in planning, organizing, and tracking their teaching content. Often, teachers spend hours searching through complex curriculum codes on standards websites and still struggle to find the necessary tools.. 

Our teacher friends have reached out to us with a request for a simpler way to identify, track, and note the standards they have and have not taught. They believe it would be more convenient to have a single place to look or even a basic printable checklist that includes curriculum codes, standards, and space to mark off completion. This year, we’re thrilled to fulfill that request with our printable Grade 3 ELA Standards Checklists aligned to the Common Core Standards.

Using Your 3rd Grade Common Core ELA Standards Checklist

This versatile resource can be used in multiple ways. Here are a few ideas for using your 3rd grade Common Core ELA Curriculum Checklist.

• Add it to your planner! Print a copy and place it in the back of your planner for quick reference while planning your lessons.
• Use this as a tool to build small groups! As you teach your standards, make a note of any students who struggle with a particular standard in the row across the top of each domain. Once you have identified several students needing intervention, use your checklist to pull them for reteaching. Make sure to note the dates you re-taught the material as well!
• If you plan digitally, you can copy/paste the tables into your digital planner using a tool such as Google Slides or Google Sheets, or you can link to them right inside the platform!

Please note that these trackers are correct as of May 2024. All information was taken from the Common Core State Standards Initiative and should be cross-referenced with any relevant curriculum documents that your school may implement before use.
