This resource includes a visual ELA word wall for 3rd grade for the ENTIRE YEAR. These bright, clean cards
contain student-friendly definitions and clear visuals to help your students internalize important ELA
vocabulary. While these terms are common core aligned, I am happy to consider additional terms if you require
them to match your content. You can email me with any requests at
[email protected]
As of July 2019, this set includes 219 ELA terms (see next page for a full list).
These words are organized by Common Core strand. This resource includes a half-page headers for each strand,
perfect to help organize your ELA Word Wall display, or to help label your ELA center.
These vocabulary cards print 2 per page in a landscape
format. They are designed for easy assembly, so you only
need to made one cut down the middle of the page.
(making each card 4.25 x 11 inches)
I recommend printing on white card stock and laminating
prior to cutting each page (this will save A LOT of cutting
later!) I hope you and your students enjoy this resource!
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Happy Teaching!
