New Grade 3 Student Textbooks: Science 6 and History 5

Chapter teaching books now available as original downloadable PDFs. Read the five textbook lessons before completing matching workbook exercises. These books do not yet complete the full-year program.

New Grade 3 Student Textbooks: Science and History

Downloadable chapter reading books provide vocabulary, explanations, worked examples and checkpoints. Match each reading lesson to the corresponding daily fillable workbook. These are completed chapter-level reading editions, not full-year textbooks.

Reading order: Student Textbook, Daily Workbook, Teacher Guide. Additional grades and chapters still require professionally developed textbook editions and standards review.

New: Full Chapter Student Textbook Downloads

Learn first, practice second, check third. Read the student textbook lesson before completing its daily workbook. Use the separate teacher guide to review answers and reteach missed concepts. These are complete reading editions for the named chapters, not complete school-year textbooks.

In development: Additional Grade 3 chapters and all other grades still require the same textbook development, academic review, coordinated downloadable editions, cumulative testing, and complete year-long coverage. Existing WordPress pages and earlier workbooks are preserved.

Grade 3 | Organized Student and Parent Course Index

Start with Unit 1 in each subject. Read the student lesson, complete its existing worksheet or downloadable workbook, then use the separate teacher guide. Continue into numbered chapters only where they have been published. The links below point to existing materials and preserve earlier work.

Whole-grade resources: Unit 1 overview | Online worksheet | Parent overview | Fillable PDF Subject Library | 36-Week Scope and Sequence

The 36-week plan organizes learning objectives, but it does not mean every week has a finished textbook. Completed student files remain private. Additional grade-level chapters and PDF completeness require verification.

Grade 3 | Newly Published Learning Chapters

Five new chapters with original instruction, questions and separate parent answer guides. Each online workbook can be printed or saved from the browser. Fillable PDF editions are not yet supplied for these chapters; the full 36-week year remains in development.

Use the curriculum coverage tracker to distinguish chapters already posted from objectives still requiring verification.

For accelerated learning, choose a subject level based on demonstrated mastery, not age. The older five-subject editions remain archived but are no longer the recommended entry.

Typical age: 8–9. Suitable starting route: Builders. These are guideposts, not placement decisions. A child may be advanced in one subject and need foundational work in another. Choose subject level from real work samples and the placement check. The Academy’s mixed-level lesson volumes are not exclusively authored for Grade 3 or verified as complete coverage of that grade.

Start here: Choose the subject below, read the skill target, open the linked course, and select the exercise that matches the child’s demonstrated prerequisite mastery. The parent may read directions aloud without doing the work.

Mathematics | Expected Skills

Multiplication and division concepts and fluency, fractions, perimeter, area and multidigit arithmetic.

Open the student lessons: Mathematics Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. For practical review, choose a weekly workbook. Tasks marked Foundations, Builders or Advanced are levels within mixed-age material, not official grade tags.

Reading, Phonics and English Language Arts

Reading evidence, paragraph structure, vocabulary, grammar, informational writing and independent comprehension.

Open the student lessons: Phonics, ELA Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Daily phonics remains essential for children still learning to decode, even when their oral comprehension is advanced.

Science

Ecosystems, forces, matter and repeatable observation.

Open the student lessons: Science Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Science questions and demonstrations should be safe and accurately distinguish hypothetical examples from observed data.

History and Social Studies

Alabama geography, maps, history timelines, sources and community civics.

Open the student lessons: History Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3. Check factual dates and sources rather than inventing answers.

Scripture Study

Shared family Scripture study may be taught together using contextual readings, with different levels of written or oral interpretation. Open the Scripture course.

Try This Placement Sample

Solve 7×8 and 56÷7, and explain the relationship. Read the garden passage in the Builders workbook and write the central idea and two details.

Next decision: Advance in individual subjects after independent multiplication/division, reading and writing checks.

Advanced Learner?

Open Advanced Scholars for every ready age and Advanced Mathematics. Do not restrict access based on age, but verify prerequisites before assigning an advanced lesson.

Print, Copy and Parent Guidance

  • Copy assignment text directly from the course webpage into a notebook or another document.
  • Download PDFs from the Course Download Library. Select the student edition before opening the separate parent answer guide.
