Description
What is included in these 3rd Grade Language Arts Sub Plans?
Each lesson in the 3rd grade language arts sub plans is simple enough for the sub to follow, but will engage your students in authentic learning …and not just busy work. Each lesson plan has a section for teacher notes at the bottom for any notes you’d like to leave for the sub (or for the sub to leave you notes!) All the graphic organizers, activities, or worksheets needed to complete every lesson are included.
-
Language Arts topics include: parts of speech, simple/compound/complex sentences, fixing sentences, conjunctions and verbs
-
Silent Reading Comprehension Strategy Lesson topic: text questioning, making connections, visualizing, summarizing, and the main idea
-
Reading Passages Lesson: Three differentiated reading passages are included. Choose the best one or use all three and differentiate. The topics of the reading passages include a sick teacher, soccer, movie popcorn, reading, and middle ages
-
Writing topics include: opinion writing, narrative writing, informative writing, acrostic poetry, and friendly letter writing
In addition to the 3rd grade ELA lessons, the following is also included:
-
Educational Games
-
“Just Add A Task” Board Game: This board game is nearly ready to go! All that’s left to do is add a task- such as a spelling or vocab list or math flash cards. It can also be played just for fun without a task. Color and B&W versions included.

Perfect. I love the broad range of skills addressed. The only thing that would have made it better is a table of contents.

I bought the entire 5 day plan for 2nd grade last year and it was great. I moved to 3rd grade ELA this year and purchased this. Unfortunately, a lot of the stuff is the same as the 2nd grade stuff. I looped up with my kids so they had already done majority of this. Still a good resource otherwise, as long as you didn’t already purchase the 2nd grade version. I did see the monthly ones for 3/4 and bought that to sample it out. The mini silent reading lessons are all the same but the other stuff is different so that is actually a better fit for me. Unfortunately, it only has about two lessons with it. However, I do love all your products so I will probably just buy more of the monthly sets instead.

This is an excellent resource for many days of substitute plans for a departmentalized ELA class. It’s well worth the money for the quality, ease of printing and organizing. Ready to go!
