Standards Map for 3rd Grade English Language Arts

Each 3rd grade Fishtank ELA unit deepens student mastery of a set of grade-level standards. These are split into core standards (standards especially important for understanding the core text and knowledge of the unit) and supporting standards (standards that students repeatedly use as they engage with, discuss, or write about a text).
