Level 3 Geodes^®:

What are Level 3 Geodes?

Level 3 Geodes are beautifully illustrated, phonetically accessible texts that honor students’ natural curiosity while helping them meet the challenges of third-grade reading. Each book is carefully crafted to systematically build fluency and knowledge while preparing students to access fourth-grade level content and complex texts.

In this webinar, Lorraine Griffith and Rachel Hylton explore the research and design behind Level 3 Geodes books and what fluency practice and knowledge building could look like in your classroom.

Topics include

• the importance of reading fluency and its connection to reading comprehension,
• how Level 3 Geodes support fluency through knowledge-building texts, and 
• what resources are available to support teachers in planning and preparing fluency instruction and practice.
