The leap from second to third grade significantly changes literacy expectations. Our STEAM-integrated curriculum is meticulously designed to cater to these evolving needs, with Spelling City playing a critical role in this advancement:
Solidifying Fundamental Skills
While continuing to develop the essential skills nurtured in the second grade, third graders are introduced to a range of new linguistic challenges. Spelling City's interactive platform reinforces previously acquired knowledge and paves the way for exploring more advanced concepts.
Exploring Advanced Vocabulary and Concepts
The third-grade curriculum introduces children to a richer tapestry of vocabulary and spelling challenges. Spelling City meets these needs head-on, providing a safe, engaging space for students to expand their linguistic horizons.
Engaging with Interactive Learning

Seamlessly Integrating Spelling City into the Third-Grade Curriculum
Encouraging Advanced Literacy Through Reading
Select titles, such as "Because of Winn-Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo and "James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl, serve as springboards for vocabulary expansion. Following each reading session, Spelling City activities help solidify new vocabulary, ensuring long-term retention and comprehension.
Harnessing STEAM to Broaden Horizons
Our curriculum's STEAM focus aligns perfectly with Spelling City's capabilities, allowing for an interdisciplinary approach to learning. Whether it's exploring geometric shapes or understanding the water cycle, Spelling City supports our objective of creating well-rounded learners.
