Reading Comprehension: What Do You Think?
This worksheet is all about reading comprehension. After reading each of the three short paragraphs, your child will need to answer short questions based on the reading.
Homographs: Double Meanings 1
Does a duck duck? Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings, like duck (the animal) and duck (the verb). On this third grade reading worksheet, kids write two sentences for two different meanings of the same word.
Homophones: Write It Right 1
"Waste" and "waist" sound alike, but they're spelled differently and have different meanings. They're homophones. On this third grade reading worksheet, kids choose the correct homophones to complete sentences.
Context Clues: Word Mystery
When you reach a word you don't recognize when reading, what do you do? One strategy for figuring out unfamiliar words is using context clues, or other words in the sentence that give hints about the meaning of the unknown word. This third grade reading worksheet offers practice with context clues.

Does your child have a passion for the environment? This worksheet is a perfect aid to practice her reading skills, and learn about different ecosystems.
Homophones: Write It Right 2
"Choose" and "chews" sound alike, but they're spelled differently and have different meanings. They're homophones. On this third grade reading worksheet, kids choose the correct homophones to complete sentences.
Animal Scramble!
The animal names on this third grade science and spelling worksheet are all mixed up! Kids unscramble reptile and bird names, then use highlighted letters to unscramble the name of an additional reptile and bird.
Antonyms Are Cool
The sentences on this third grade reading worksheet are missing a word. Kids read a highlighted word that's a clue about the missing word, but it's actually the opposite of the missing word! Kids tap into their vocabularies to think of an antonym for the word to write in and complete the sentence.
Construction Zone
This worksheet is all about forming contractions. Pull on your hardhat, it's time to do some heavy word construction!
Similes: Clear as Crystal
As quiet as a mouse or as quiet as a cucumber? They're both very quiet, but "as quiet as a mouse" is the popular simile. Kids completing this third grade reading and writing worksheet learn the definition of a simile, then use pictures as clues to complete similes. Then they write their own simile!
