Martinsville City Public Schools Curriculum & Pacing Guide Grade 3: English / Reading

Refer to the Curriculum Framework for actual lesson planning. Modified 2012 PDH Page 1

Martinsville City Public Schools’ Instructional Plan of Action The Martinsville City Public Schools Curriculum Guide was developed using the Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools and the State Curriculum Framework. Also, an emphasis was placed on the integration of 21st Century Skills into all areas of K-12 education. Martinsville City Public Schools believes that to compete in a global community, all children must develop lifelong independent skills that demonstrate initiative, self direction, and the ability to problem-solve, innovate and create, and communicate by writing and speaking effectively. To provide an avenue for students to develop these important qualifications and provide a more rigorous learning environment, Martinsville City Public Schools encourages problem-based learning in all classrooms. The collaboration between students in this type of learning environment develops skills in leadership, accountability, social, and cross-cultural understanding as they communicate and think critically to problem-solve real world applications of the curriculum. Martinsville City Public Schools’ Core curriculum prepares students to achieve these 21st

Century skills through competent cross- curricular activities that apply knowledge of concepts learned in other areas of study and in the community.

Standard benchmark assessments along with project-based assessments and end of year SOL tests are administered to ensure mastery of the concepts. PALS assessments are used to ensure proficiency in Reading for grades Pre-K through Eight. To further ensure that all students learn to the best of their abilities, a Response to Intervention (RtI) system, using STAR Math, STAR Reading, and ARDT (Algebra Readiness Diagnostic Test) is in place to guide classroom instruction, screen and progress monitor students so that intervention and enrichment activities are scheduled based on the students individual needs throughout the year.

The Martinsville City Public Schools’ Curriculum Guide is designed to provide a reference document for each subject and grade level that indicates The Curriculum’s Big Ideas, Instructional Strategies, Model lessons,& Assessment Instruments and suggested time frames to be used as a Guide for classroom instruction. In addition, Learning Targets at a Glance contains an overview of the curriculum taught for each grading period for each subject and grade level. 21
