Newly Published Chapter Sets
Mathematics Chapter 6, English Language Arts Chapter 6, Science Chapter 6, History and Social Studies Chapter 5, and Scripture Study Chapter 5 now each have student instruction, twenty chapter practice prompts, and teacher response guidance. These are additional resources, not proof of full annual standards coverage. The chapters currently have browser-printable practice pages, not verified interactive fillable PDFs.
GRADE 3 | CURRICULUM COVERAGE AND COMPLETION TRACKER
Status: IN DEVELOPMENT. Grade 3 has multiple published original chapters in five subjects. This page deliberately separates published instruction from missing full-year material. A chapter being published is not proof of complete state-standard mastery.
What Is Published Versus What Is Missing
Mathematics
Published: Unit 1, five-day Chapter 1 pilot, Chapters 2–5 (equal groups, fractions, measurement, data and geometry).
Missing or requiring verification: Complete grade-three multiplication/division coverage and fluency checks; cumulative assessments, all requisite problem types, structured remediation and 36-week pacing.
Reference: 2019 Alabama Mathematics.
English Language Arts
Published: Unit 1, Chapters 2–5 (informational comprehension, narrative writing, explanatory writing, word study, grammar and argument writing).
Missing or requiring verification: Systematic recurring phonics and spelling, reading fluency, speaking/listening, handwriting, poetry and all written genres with rubrics across a full school year.
Reference: 2021 Alabama ELA.
Science
Published: Unit 1, Chapters 2–5 (forces and magnets, life cycles and traits, weather, water, ecosystems, fossils and habitats).
Missing or requiring verification: Full engineering design cycle, additional investigations and diagrams, repeated scientific assessment and objective-by-objective verification of fossil and survival coverage.
Reference: 2023 Alabama Science.
History and Social Studies
Published: Unit 1, Chapters 2–4 (geography, maps, Indigenous peoples, European exploration and early colonial Alabama).
Missing or requiring verification: More comprehensive Alabama geography, history of distinct Indigenous societies and European encounters, economics, map/document interpretation and 2024 standard checks.
Reference: 2024 Alabama Social Studies.
Scripture Study
Published: Unit 1, Chapters 2–4 (Deuteronomy 6–10).
Missing or requiring verification: Remaining instructional sequence, contextual reading, age-appropriate application, ongoing review and independent assessment.
Reference: Covenant reading sequence, not Alabama academic subject standards.
How the Full 36-Week Year Should Be Completed
- Weeks 1–9: prerequisite placement, direct instruction, daily guided and independent practice, spiral review, and a cumulative quarter assessment in every subject.
- Weeks 10–18: extend grade-level objectives and introduce increasingly complex independent readings, investigations, writing and source-based questions; include a second cumulative assessment.
- Weeks 19–27: add advanced reasoning, writing revisions, research, authentic map work and independent projects, with mastery-based acceleration and formal reteach cycles.
- Weeks 28–36: complete any remaining grade objectives, retain all evidence of learning privately, reassess missed skills with new tasks and complete final assessments for every subject.
This four-quarter outline is a production plan, not a claim that all weeks have been written. The existing lessons must be crosswalked objective by objective before any grade is declared complete.
