00:07	Hi , I'm Liz Garrison , and I'm a third
00:13	grade reading language arts teacher , Epitope Elementary in Batavia
00:16	, Ohio . Third grade language arts is different from
00:19	second grade language arts and the fact that if you
00:21	think of the standards , you think of them like
00:22	kind of like a V , where kindergarten , we're
00:24	building our foundation . And then every year we're building
00:27	out . There's 10 literature standards , 10 informational tech
00:31	standards and three writing standards , and those carry all
00:34	the way through kindergarten to 12th grade . We just
00:36	build on them every year . So what you're going
00:38	to see is a lot of the second grade standards
00:40	than just a little bit will be added to them
00:43	. We're going to read the first part first ,
00:45	and you and your partner are going to be looking
00:46	at what is the main idea . And then how
00:49	did the authors support ? That may not be as
00:52	far as reading . You will see a lot more
00:54	focus on evidence from the text before supporting details of
01:00	the author gave to hold up like a table .
01:03	Their main idea . It's a very hard thing to
01:06	teach because the kids like to draw on their background
01:09	knowledge and you see a lot more of a shift
01:12	towards informational text . That's kind of the college and
01:15	career readiness reading that informational text so you'll see a
01:18	lot more of that . And people also see non
01:21	literal language introduced in second grade , they learned about
01:25	announce verbs , adjectives , adverbs . In third grade
01:28	, we started to add what is a comparative adverb
01:31	? What's a superlative adverb ? And then we also
01:36	in the grammar , we see kind of more complex
01:39	rules , like in second grade , they see an
01:40	apostrophe . We use that to make a contraction ,
01:43	and then in third grade , we use an apostrophe
01:45	to make a possessive in third grade . We're kind
01:48	of getting towards the end of the foundational phonics skills
01:51	. We're focusing on higher level decoding , like solidification
01:55	or prefixes and suffixes . In third grade , you
01:59	have to know what those prefixes and suffixes mean .
02:02	And then how does that change the meaning of the
02:03	word ? So , like if I say I'm repainting
02:06	, my house re means again , and then bang
02:09	means in the present tense . So they had to
02:11	really apply those prefix and suffix meanings to the word
02:16	and understand them . We're meeting in writing you'll once
02:19	again see those three main standards narrative , informational and
02:23	opinion writing . So we're taking a building , but
02:26	getting a little more complex in second grade . For
02:29	instance , an opinion running . They have to say
02:31	, this is my opinion . And this is why
02:34	in third grade you have to start to make a
02:36	more structured as so we have our opening . In
02:39	our opinion , are reasons we're gonna list are reasons
02:42	I think this because you're gonna list out your reasons
02:46	and then you're going to give evidence for each one
02:48	of those reasons in speaking and listening , all those
02:52	standards have to do with coming prepared to a discussion
02:55	in third grade . You have to then take that
02:57	discussion and then kind of make it your own voice
02:59	. So you have to say , Okay , I
03:01	heard this and I heard this and someone gave a
03:04	talk about this . And now here's what I think
03:06	, having taken in all that information . So one
03:08	of the things parents might notices students transitioning into finding
03:12	their own voice and having their own opinion about stories
03:16	. In second grade they look at the point of
03:19	view of the narrator , but then in third grade
03:21	. We focus on what is your point of view
03:23	? And is it different from that of the narrator
03:25	way parents can help at home ? And what I
03:27	always tell everyone is just to always read with your
03:30	child and not only just read with your child ,
03:33	but to discuss it . What did you like about
03:35	this story and who's your favorite character and why are
03:38	they your favorite character ? Sometimes we don't always read
03:41	as much nonfiction at home kids to read the newspaper
03:44	that can read National Geographic kids Ranger Rick , Whatever
03:49	. Just getting them reading and reading informational text and
03:52	getting them talking about whatever their passion is whatever they're
03:55	interested in , have them read about it and then
03:57	have them talk about it because that really engages them
04:00	in the story . And then that translates into their
04:03	writing at school . I really like third grade language
04:06	arts because you can really dig into a story and
04:08	talk about the different elements of the story , and
04:11	you look at character and setting and plot and theme
04:14	, so you're kind of moving into higher level thinking
