The Yellow Book – 3rd Grade Skills is a comprehensive 3rd grade language arts curriculum designed to engage children with 36 weekly lessons.

These lessons include dictation or copying literature passages from beloved books like The Tale of Benjamin Bunny (Beatrix Potter), Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll), and The Tale of Jeremy Vole (Stephen Lawhead), as well as poetry selections and more.

The updated third edition makes learning easier with new lessons, journaling, and an all-inclusive format covering essential 3rd grade language skills such as reading, a 3rd grade spelling list (suggested lists included), grammar, higher-order thinking skills, creative writing for 3rd graders, and handwriting.

For teachers’ convenience, the teacher book contains notes and answers right in the margin, making it an excellent tool for guiding students.

The curriculum features four Literature Links that encourage students to build vocabulary, read for content, and improve 3rd grade reading comprehension. Exciting activities in these links bring stories to life and provide numerous opportunities for creative expression.
