Memoria Press’s Third Grade Curriculum can be a big jump from the world of basic skills and simple literature in the primary grades to the more difficult material in the grammar school, so we have structured our program to allow 3rd graders to work at a moderated pace. This will ease students into the more advanced workload of grammar school, while still proving a challenging classical Christian curriculum.
To complete the Read-Aloud portion of the curriculum, you will need the weekly read-alouds and can choose from either novels or picture books. These can be purchased in our MP Classical Readers section or you may already own many of these classic books.
The Third Grade Scope & Sequence resource explains what content is covered and which skills are acquired in this grade level.
See “Note” in description section below regarding our choice of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

Classical Core Curriculum Third Grade Curriculum Set
The Third Grade Curriculum is a complete classical Christian curriculum that emphasizes the traditional liberal arts of language and mathematics and the cultural heritage of the Christian West as expressed in the great works of history and literature. In the curriculum package, Memoria Press has designed and laid out a full year’s plan in a Curriculum Manual that provides day-by-day lesson plans for you the teacher!
With the third grade package, students take a large leap as they are introduced to more subjects. To adequately prepare your students, we have designed the lesson plans such that your student will take two years to complete D’Aulaires’ Greek Myths, Latina Christiana, Christian Studies I, States & Capitals, and English Grammar Recitation I. In these two years, as the parent, encourage your student to strive for mastery in these subjects.
If you need help along the way, or just simply need suggestions, please contact a TEW today!
*Yes we change your curriculum package but may change the actual price of the package.
NOTE: In the two weeks leading up to Christmas, we recommend reading aloud The Best Christmas Pageant Ever to students. This book does include some sensitive content as the Herdman family is rather loose with their language about smoking, drinking, etc. Despite a few sentences that you may want to skip in your reading, we feel this book is worthy of being read. The Herdman children’s lives are changed by their introduction to the Christmas story through a church pageant. We are reminded of the wonder in that story through their innocent eyes, sparking new appreciation in our hearts of the miracle of Christmas.
