Do I need anything else in my 3rd grade ELA plan?

[Calizzy]

Here is what I have for sure,

 

- Apples and Pears spelling

- Finish up AAR 3. - dd is a strong reader, but 1/2 way through 2nd grade she went to PS so we never finished the AAR3 we were working on. I would like to finish it, but not go on to level 4. I think she is a strong e enough reader, plus I am starting AAR1 with ydd and it's too much of my time to do 2 levels of AAR at the same time.

- Writing strands

 

Do I need some grammar? Any suggestions? It should take us about 2 or 3 months to finish AAR 3. I plan to just have her read after that.

You don't *need* grammar, but it is a good age for adding it. :) You might consider First Language Lessons 3 or Rod and Staff English 3.

 

FWIW, my rising third grader will use Treasured Conversations (grammar/writing), Rod and Staff spelling, and a pile of good children's literature. I might get her another cursive copybook to go with it.

My 3rd grader will be reading to herself and orally narrating lit selections to me, working on cursive handwriting with HWOT, doing AAS, and alternating weeks of IEW writing lessons and FLL 3. So I think your plan looks pretty good. :)
