3 rd Grade<br />
Transitional Stage of Reading:<br />
Transitional readers continue to build their expertise with the use of phonics, visual cues, context clues,<br />
sentence structure, and text structure to read unfamiliar material. They are growing in their skills of<br />
predicting, cross-checking, and monitoring their understanding of content.<br />
Books appropriate for students in this stage are easy chapter books that require more than one sitting to<br />
read. They utilize vocabulary of several hundred, primarily one- and two-syllable, words. These stories are<br />
more complex and often require the reader to make inferences. They typically contain few, if any,<br />
illustrations.<br />
