Common Core State Standards ELA Checklists for Third Grade

The Common Core State Standards define what students should be able to do by the end of each grade. I created this resource as a way to keep track of the progress of my students with the English Language Arts CCSS.

This resource includes a checklist for each of the THIRD grade CCSS for English Language Arts. The Standards are divided into Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language Strands. For third grade, the Standards for reading are broken down into the following categories: Literature, Informational Text, and Foundational Skills.

What’s Included in this Resource:

1. Third Grade CCSS Checklist Cover Page: There are two options to choose from, as well as a black/white and color option.

2. Cover Page for Each Category: There is a cover page (both in black/white and color options) for each of the following categories: Foundational Skills, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Language, Literature, and Informational Text. There is a black/white and color option for each cover page.

3.CCSS Checklists: There are 43 different checklists included for the ELA Standards.

4. List of CCSS in each Strand: I included a list (on one page) of each CCSS for each literacy strand, as convenient way to quickly glance at all the standards.

5. PDF version and Power Point version: When I use this resource, I just handwrite the name of my students in the checklist. If you prefer to type the names of your students on the checklists, you can use the Power Point version of this resource. In the Power Point version, you are able to insert text boxes and type in your class list. All images, graphics, and content remains protected, as the Power Point slides are JPEG’s.

If you would like to see how I use these checklists in my own classroom, please check out my blog post here: https://inspiremeasap.com/2018/06/using-assessments-with-reading-workshop.html
