18 Unique Third Grade Reading Comprehension Activities Your Students Will Love

Build crucial literacy skills with these fun activities

Third grade reading comprehension activities like using posting and beach balls.

By the third grade, most students are really starting to get the hang of reading. They are enthusiastic readers, with preferences for particular themes and genres and opinions about everything they read. Here are 18 third grade reading comprehension activities that will help them dig deeper into what they’re reading and build skills to carry them to the next level.

(Just a heads up, WeAreTeachers may collect a share of sales from the links on this page. We only recommend items our team loves!)

1. Build a Comprehension Cootie Catcher

collage of images for a reading cootie catcher free printable as part of third grade reading comprehension

Turn reading comprehension into a fun game with these free cootie catchers. There are three different versions available, and each has questions that will help your students dig deeper into their reading. Each cootie catcher tackles elements of third grade reading comprehension like character, plot, setting, problem, and solution, and the questions are general enough that they can be used with any book.

2. Practice determining importance

Have you ever asked a student to summarize a story, only to hear them include every little detail? Or maybe they only retell a small part of the text, excluding important characters or events. What these readers need to learn is to discriminate between what is and what isn’t important. And in order to do this, they must sort through the actions and/or information they’ve read and decide on their importance. This is where graphic organizers come in. Check out the blog below for two effective lessons on determining importance.

3. Play a round of Roll and Retell

third grade reading homework

One of the best ways to help students build comprehension is giving them a chance to talk about what they’ve read. This is a fun game to play, and all you need is a pair of dice. Students can pair up and share information with one another about what they’ve read. Or they can work solo and roll the dice and write out their answers.

4. Practice inferring with wordless books

Wordless picture books are great for making inferences. Use this free graphic organizer along with wordless picture books. On the graphic organizer, students describe what they noticed in the illustration and what they were able to infer from that illustration. Students could practice on their own or work with a partner or small group. Have each student or group use a different  book or use the same book and then compare the inferences.

5. Make a paper chain of connections

Third grade reading comprehension activity making paper chains made of students' text connections

Good readers make connections as they read. Track your students’ connections with this engaging visual activity from Brooke at Literacy in Focus. First, students write their connections on colored strips of paper (each type of connection is made on a different color). Next, students link up their connections and attach them to the corresponding text-connections label or poster (see the example bulletin board at the link below). Links can be added throughout the year as new texts are read. The link-up activity makes a great visual representation of the entire text-connections process.

6. Use story maps

Story maps give students a framework to record their thinking before, during, and after reading. From spider webs and stars to Venn diagrams and shaped maps, there are endless formats of story maps available online. Try the 15 free versions below.

8. Summarize using basic signal words

As students read a text, they keep track of words that answer the questions who, what, when, where, how, and why by writing them on a sticky note. After they write the words, they attach their sticky notes to a record sheet. Once they finish their note taking, they summarize the story using their notes.

9. Bat around a beach ball

Inflatable balls and cubes with reading comprehension questions written in sections as a third grade reading comprehension activity

Using a Sharpie marker, write different questions for students to answer about the book they are reading. Hit different elements such as character, problem and solution, setting, connections, predictions, etc. Kids will have a blast batting the inflatables around as they build comprehension skills.

10. Run a nonfiction relay race

According to instructor Clio Stearns, Ph.D ., “Kinesthetic games allow third graders to put their bodies to use alongside their minds and can be particularly helpful for students who do not like to sit still or who benefit from multi-sensory approaches to learning.”

One of her ideas for boosting reading comprehension is to run a nonfiction relay race. This activity is great after reading a nonfiction book or article together. Break students into teams and head to the gym or outdoors. Set up a racecourse, for instance 100 yards marked off by flags or one lap around the track. The first student on each team will run the course, and once they return, and before the next student in line can run, they must repeat one fact they learned from the reading. The first team to have all runners complete the course wins.

11. Hold a Book Character Day

Children dressed up as book characters

Kids love Book Character Day! It gives them a chance to show how much they really know about one of their favorite characters. Encourage them to dress as their character and carry props that are part of their story. Maybe they’d even like to act like and talk in the voice of their character. Be sure to set aside time for each student to tell their classmates about the character they chose and why.

14. Make a game show of it

Try a fun game show–style class game for third grade reading comprehension. It’s easy to play a Jeopardy-style game, interactive tic-tac-toe, or a team game where students buzz in with the answer. (Check out these fun game show buzzers on Amazon.) Divide students into teams, then ask comprehension questions by topic or just randomly. Give teams time to talk about the answer before sharing it. This allows students to learn from each other, explain their thinking, and prove their answers.

15. Track your thinking with sticky notes

According to Home Reading Helper , one great way for students to remember and internalize what they read is by using sticky notes. Using these symbols as a guide, students place a sticky note with the appropriate symbol next to a line in a book to show their thinking as they read.

16. Be a word detective

What do kids learn in third grade.

Children moving into third grade will mature in school and use the tools they have gathered from second grade to dig deeply into important curricular areas with deeper thinking and expression, deeper understanding of concepts, deeper reading. To advance as readers, students will work on responding to and finding connections between texts; expanding vocabulary and use of context clues and pronunciation; and developing and sharing opinions about their reading. Their writing will progress by extending writing time and research; using the writing process and choosing audience; further developing types of writing and their organizational structure; and utilizing more detail in content and sentence construction. Math becomes more complicated in making and using graphs; fractions; rounding; measuring; working with four-sided figures; more complex word problems; and understanding the multiplication and division relationship while learning products. To support and advance the classroom learning objectives, this outstanding top teacher resource will provide literally hundreds of entertaining and absorbing pages filled with games, learning centers, monthly topics, graphic organizers, and much more. You can be assured that the materials in this comprehensive collection are aligned with the current educational standards. By using this top resource, you can confidently send your students on to the next level!
