What Your Third Grader Needs to Know

What Your Third Grader Needs to Know

Picture
I created this supplemental page to support my own children as they use this resource at home as part of our family’s learning journey. I first discovered What Your Third Grader Needs to Know: Fundamentals of a Good Third-Grade Education by E.D. Hirsch, Jr. at our local library and immediately connected with its approach to building strong foundational knowledge. After exploring the book, I purchased personal copies so we could actively use and interact with the material together at home.

As we began working through the text, I searched for additional resources to help guide and enrich the learning process. I found several helpful supplemental materials online and wanted to bring them together in one convenient place. This page serves as a collection of those resources to support families who may also be using this book as part of their learning experience.
