New TEKS Alignment (3rd Grade)

The new TEKS were adopted in 2017 and are implemented beginning with the 2019-2020 school year.

TEKS 3.3 Foundational language skills: The student uses newly acquired vocabulary expressively. The student is expected to:

(A)  use print or digital resources to determine meaning, syllabication, and pronunciation;

(B)  use context within and beyond a sentence to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words and multiple-meaning words;

(C)  identify the meaning of and use words with affixes such as im- (into), non-, dis-, in- (not, non), pre-, -ness, -y, and -ful; and

(D)  identify, use, and explain the meaning of antonyms, synonyms, idioms, homophones, and homographs in a text.

TEKS 3.6 Comprehension skills: The student uses metacognitive skills to both develop and deepen comprehension of increasingly complex texts. The student is expected to:

(A)  establish purpose for reading assigned and self-selected texts;

(B)  generate questions about text before, during, and after reading to deepen understanding and gain information;

(C)  make, correct, or confirm predictions using text features, characteristics of genre, and structures;

(D)  create mental images to deepen understanding;

(E)  make connections to personal experiences, ideas in other texts, and society;

(F)  make inferences and use evidence to support understanding;

(G)  evaluate details read to determine key ideas;

(H)  synthesize information to create new understanding; and

(I)  monitor comprehension and make adjustments such as re-reading, using background knowledge, asking questions, and annotating when understanding breaks down.

TEKS 3.8 Multiple genres: The student recognizes and analyzes literary elements within and across increasingly complex traditional, contemporary, classical, and diverse literary texts.

(A)  infer the theme of a work, distinguishing theme from topic;

(B)  explain the relationships among the major and minor characters;

(C)  analyze plot elements, including the sequence of events, the conflict, and the resolution; and

(D)  explain the influence of the setting on the plot.

Additionally, the open-ended practice embeds response skills and vocabulary development strands.
