3rd Grade Reading Worksheets
Upper elementary readers shift from learning to read to reading to learn. Children read longer chapter books and nonfiction, find the main idea and supporting details, compare characters and points of view, and use prefixes, suffixes and context to work out new words. Grammar, spelling and paragraph writing grow alongside. In third grade, children read chapter books on their own, use prefixes and suffixes, answer questions with evidence from the text, and write opinion and informative paragraphs. Download any of these third grade reading worksheets free as a PDF, at easy, medium and hard levels, many with an answer key for grown-ups.
