Eight 3rd-grade words below, with what each one means and a sentence using it. Then paste your child's own list — the one that came home this week — and print a study page from it.
These are longer sight words, plus the first words a child meets more in books than in speech. Every district publishes its own list, so treat these as a sample of the kind of word rather than the list your school uses.
One card from the deck. Every word on your child's list gets one.
Definitions from Simple English Wiktionary, used under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Type or paste this week's words — one per line, or however the school sheet had them, numbering and all. Each word comes back with a definition written for a child and a sentence showing it in use, on a page you can print and leave on the table.
The first few words are free, no account. Printing the whole list is part of the Spell & Sum subscription — $19.99 a year for the household.
Spell & Sum also makes printable maths practice — you set the numbers to match what your child is working on, and the answer key comes with it. See the worksheet pages.
