3rd Grade Books




3rd grade books, and how I use them



The books that I review and recommend on this site are stories I use as language intervention texts.


I select books based on particular criteria. That is, the selected book has to be engaging and also language rich. For 3rd grade level books the stories should have a compelling narrative that follows story grammar rules and also to introduce new and/or slightly unusual words that a child may be unfamiliar with.


Please click onto the links for a detailed review of the featured books. Book reviews will be added in the coming months as they become available.


The reviewed books will be listed in alphabetical order.
