3rd grade writing samples

by: Jessica Kelmon | Updated: November 27, 2022

Print article

In 3rd grade writing, there’s an emphasis on students’ nonfiction writing being both well-researched and well-organized. Your child’s teacher may introduce various methods to help kids organize their thoughts — from outlining to using Post-it notes and everything in between. These 3rd grade writing samples come from a class where the teacher has the kids use colored paper: pink paper for introductions, yellow paper for supporting reasons (backed by evidence ), and green paper for conclusions. There are a couple of key differences you may notice this year in terms of fundamental 3rd grade skills . For example, while second graders simply write straightforward introductory statements in their reports, third grade writing is supposed to have, “grabby,” or intriguing introductions to pique the reader’s interest. Read more about your third grader’s writing under the Common Core .

Third grade writing sample #1

Saving Water by Bella

In her report, Bella does a great job of writing a “grabby” introduction and making sure that her conclusion relates to her introduction.

Third grade writing sample #2

Saving Water by Cade

Notice how Cade includes details in his introduction. He also includes many supporting reasons, also called evidence from the text, in his report. Using evidence is an essential skill that continues to be a focus every year.

Third grade writing sample #3

Saving Water by Laura

Third graders are taught to emphasize the content and organization of their writing. Making edits to spelling and grammar are considered a final step — and aren’t quite as important as getting their ideas on paper. As you read Laura’s report, you may notice the spelling corrections (like the dark “c” in “faucet”) that she makes at the end, after concentrating on her introduction, supporting reasons, and conclusion.

Third Grade: Writing Sample 1

Context of writing.

Written by a third grader who receives special education for language arts. Writing is in response to a prompt, “Think about a person who is special; this could be a family member, a friend, or anyone else who is important to you. Write about why this person is special to you. Be sure to describe a few experiences you have had together that show why you chose this person.”

What is this child able to do as a writer?

• Writes with a purpose: telling about a person who is special to him — his dad.
• The writer stays on the topic.
• He spells many sight words correctly and uses invented spelling (‘bares’ and ‘dares’) for words he is unsure how to spell.
• Shows a beginning sense of grouping sentences together to make a paragraph — uses a main idea (‘Me and Dad hunt for bares and dares’) and a few details.

Me and dad hunt for bears and deers. When my dad gets a deer he cuts them. He always hunts. I go with him too and I see him get them.

What does this child need to learn next?

This writer needs to learn the concept of sentences as complete thoughts. The teacher could have him practice reading aloud to hear natural pauses and get a sense of when a sentence ends. After he has identified the sentences, the student could look for the beginnings of sentences and add capital letters.

The teacher could also guide the student to elaborate on ideas and add details to make the story more interesting. He could read the story to someone — a teacher or peer — and then they could ask questions about what they want to hear more about in the story. A graphic organizer such as a paragraph hamburger may help him plan how to add more meat to the middle of his story and add an ending sentence to end the paragraph and restate the main idea .

How to Write A 3rd Grade Level Essay

In third grade, your child will start to learn higher level writing skills. This may be the first time they are writing open ended prompts. There are three different types of essays they will learn to write.

Informative Essay

An informative essay prompt will look something like this: Your family is going on vacation and a pet-sitter is coming to care for your pets. Write a note explaining how to care for them. To answer this, your child should describe the pet, it’s schedule for things like feeding and exercise, what the pet likes and doesn’t (for example, Fluffy likes to be scratched behind the ears, but do not grab her tail), and what to do for that pet if there is an emergency (call a neighbor, go to the vet, or something like that). Even if the information isn’t perfectly accurate (for example, your child may not know that the family dog takes regular medication), all the information should make sense and follow a logical flow.

Opinion Essay

An opinion essay prompt will look something like this: What does it mean to be a good friend? To answer this prompt, they will have to provide a lot of detail and thought. This can be challenging because opinion essays tend to be more abstract, but they still need to logically back up their ideas. For example, they may write that a good friend tells funny jokes, but they need to give detail on what would be funny between them or what wouldn’t be funny at all. Additionally, the essay needs to be properly organized. Opinion essays should have full paragraphs, and your child should close the essay with a concluding paragraph with a summary of the argument. This argument doesn’t have to be particularly sophisticated, of course, but it should be clear and logically follow the ideas they have written about. Following the previous example, they may write that it would be funny for their friend to walk around pretending to be a penguin because that’s a funny way for a person to move, but that it wouldn’t be funny to say that penguins look stupid because that’s mean.

Narrative Essay

A narrative essay prompt will look something like this: Have you ever been lost? Write about your experience. To answer this prompt, your child should use descriptive writing and dialogue to tell their tale. Using the “five senses” is an important factor in writing a successful narrative. For example, they may have gotten lost in a clothing store and are writing about that experience. They would describe the colors of the clothes, the smell of the store, or the loud sounds of all the people there. The events of the story, whether real or imagined, should follow logical time order, as well.

1 Persuasive Essay about Bedtime

Persuasive writing assists third graders in developing ideas to support their thoughts. Start a discussion about bedtimes with the students. Ask if they have a certain time when they must go to bed or if they can go to bed whenever they get tired. Prompt the essay writing by asking students if they think third graders should go to bed at a certain time or when they are tired. Request that students write why they think their opinion is better than the other option.

2 Expository Essay about Best Friends

Expository writing helps third graders investigate an idea, analyze supporting thoughts and explain reasoning. Create an essay topic asking the students to write about their best friend and why they consider this person their best friend. Ask students to include three reasons why their best friend holds that title and to include a personal story about the best friend that relates to at least one of the three supporting reasons.

3 Narrative Essay about an Interesting Place

Writing a narrative essay benefits students because it helps them express their feelings in an organized, linear manner. Prompt students by asking them about a favorite place they have visited. Tell them to include things they saw, people they met and any fun activities that were part of the trip. Tell students to write about their personal feelings regarding various aspects of the interesting place.

4 Response to Literature

Third grade level books are significantly advanced compared to the previous grade’s reading requirements. Having third grade students create an essay responding to a piece of literature helps them learn to collect and analyze their thoughts about stories. Choose a book from the school’s third grade reading list and combine in-class reading with homework reading. Assign an essay requiring students to choose a position on one of the book’s negotiable issues and ask them to support their stance with reasons and evaluations.

However, a little something that we would like you to know- make writing as much fun as possible for these young minds. Look at a few tips which will help you chart out easy ways to teach writing to 3rd graders.

5 Steps To Help 3rd Graders With Writing

Step 1: sentence-formation.

If students struggle with understanding and forming sentences, they must be taught sentences as a single complete thought. Reading sentences aloud with necessary pauses will bring more clarity to them about the nature of a sentence. Let the children practice in small groups to make the instructions more effective.

 Step 2: Paragraph Writing

The next step will be to familiarize the children with writing small paragraphs. Don’t go throwing the list of 3rd grade writing prompts in one go. Instead, focus on strengthening the core concepts of writing. Introduce children to the parts of a paragraph-head, body, and conclusion.

Step 3: The ‘Sandwich’ Rule

It is a great way to simplify the writing process for third-graders. Teach the children that writing a paragraph is similar to making a sandwich. 

It begins with a piece of bread, i.e., the topic sentence, followed by adding some ingredients in the middle, i.e., the transition sentences, and finally, fishing it with another piece of bread, i.e., the concluding sentences. 

The rule can also be practiced in small groups to enjoy the maximum benefits.

Step 4: Additional Cues

Besides creative writing prompts for 3rd graders, emphasis must be made on using words like ‘because,’ ‘since,’ ‘for example,’ ‘another,’ ‘also,’ etc., to make meaningful connections while writing. Set 30 minutes initially for most pieces. Once they have had enough practice, you can reduce the time accordingly.

Step 5: Technical Cues

In the age of digitization, you cannot fathom eliminating the aid of digital tools to help children write. Teachers must pick something fun and let the students research about them on the internet. Noting down the point will help them build a story or idea smoothly.

Get, Set, Writing!

Writing prompts are not the end but the beginning of a brilliant writing spree for your students. Nonetheless, encouragement and support from your side are imperative to build their confidence. We hope the class will enjoy these 3rd grade writing prompts as much as we enjoyed curating them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How should i motivate my child to write at home.

Before introducing them to prompts, the most important way you can help your child with writing is to give them a journal, a storybook, a pencil, and an eraser. Keep a separate basket for their stationary supplies so that they can instantly grab them whenever they are in the mood to write.

What can be the first set of prompts that I should begin with?

Children are most closely knit to their parents. Giving them writing prompts to recount a happy family vacation or their favorite family members can be an ideal beginning. Moreover, in the classroom, teachers can use prompts related to their best friend, learning environment, and favorite school activity.

How many writing prompts can I use in one go?

Depends on the length of the class period. However, it is recommended to use one prompt in each class to preserve the class’s interest. Otherwise, children often feel burnout and pressure from having too many topics to write on in a single class.

Essays for Class 3

Introduction.

All of it begins with a sentence, the stepping stone for good communication begins with making meaningful sentences. The young kids of junior school are taught to write simple meaningful sentences with almost all new words they learn. Once these kids learn to make meaningful sentences with various words, the task of essay writing is introduced in their academic curriculum. Essay writing is considered to be one of the most effective brain exercises for young kids that helps them to express their thoughts and ideas.

Why is Essay Writing Important?

The kids of Class 3 are almost at the beginner’s level when it comes to essay writing and it helps to enhance their English language skills. When the kids of Class 3 attempt to write essays, they get an opportunity to understand the proper use of the various parts of speech. Some parts of speech such as prepositions, conjunctions, and articles are already taught to kids from the very beginning of junior school. However, they can relate to the proper use of these parts of speech only when they try their hands at writing essays.

For example, they may already be familiar with certain conjunctions such as ‘and’, and ‘but’. While writing an essay, they get a chance to recognize where exactly to use these conjunctions. This way essay writing helps kids to improve their English language skills as well.

What are the Common Essay Topics for Class 3?

As the kids of Class 3 are too young to know about a lot of essay topics, it is better to help them understand the basic points of writing essays. Most of the schools provide worksheets with instructions for essay writing tasks. Kids get better at writing essays with more practice. The key points for some of the commonly asked essay topics for Class 3 are discussed below, in an easy to understand way.

Once they have a clear idea of what they have to write, the only task is to articulate their ideas into meaningful paragraphs. Unlike other academic activities, essay writing provides kids with an opportunity to try their creativity and imagination. The more they practice writing essays, the better they will be able to express their ideas and imagination in a meaningful way. This will help the kids in the long run in communicating effectively to a larger audience.

Expository Essays - In this sort of essay, the writer presents a balanced analysis of a topic. To do this, the writer will need to have a thorough understanding of the subject. There is no room for the writer's sentiments or emotions when writing an expository essay because expository essays rely entirely on figures, facts, examples, and so on. There are several subtypes of this genre, such as cause and effect essays, contrast essays, and others.

Persuasive Essay - In such an essay, the writer should explain the facts while also attempting to persuade the reader to agree with the writer's viewpoint. This essay's goal is to give all sides of the debate. Ultimately, the ultimate goal is to persuade the audience that the writer's argument is stronger.

2. What should be an ideal format for a good essay?

Introduction, body, and conclusion are the three essential elements of a fundamental essay. This structure will assist you in writing and organising an essay. Flexibility, on the other hand, is critical. As a result, when writing essays in English, stick to the basic framework. Let's have a look at the basic structure of an essay, which is outlined below:

Introduction: The writer should produce an attention-getting hook line for the topic in the opening paragraph so that the audience is drawn in and engages with your essay right away. In the opening paragraph, the writer must provide a concise synopsis of the essay. In general, it shouldn't be too lengthy; it should be around 4-6 lines long.

Thesis Statement: The thesis statement summarises the essay's essential points, establishes topic boundaries, and may indicate the essay's structure. Thesis statements serve as a road map for the rest of the essay, indicating what you want to say and which primary points you'll use to support your claims.

Body: The key points offered in the thesis are supported by the essay's body section. Each point will be explored by one or more paragraphs and supported by specific information. Compose the facts in a logical order and present a clear essay to the reader for higher engagement.

Conclusion: The writer should concentrate on the final transition, reverse "hook," and repetition of the thesis in the conclusion paragraph. Also, towards the end of an essay, rephrase important subjects and subtopics, global declarations, or call to action lines.

3. What are the important tips for Essay writing in English?

The following are some pointers to keep in mind when writing an essay in English for any type of occasion:

Give your essay a catchy and appropriate title. It helps to draw the audience's attention and spark their interest.

Keep it between 300 and 500 words. Because individuals are drawn to read short articles in general, and the length range stated above is appropriate. If you want to raise or reduce it, you should use your imagination.

When writing an essay in English, use clear and concise wording. Don't go too deep and stop making the essay tough to read by writing complex vocabulary. Because it interrupts the flow of the phrase while reading.

It is essential to examine it after completing the essay because grammar errors are not acceptable in any essay writing. So, employ proper grammar and spelling to keep your reader engaged with your essay.

Before beginning an essay, organise your thoughts and create a rough draft. This way, you can ensure that your tale flows and does not become a mess.

4. How should I prepare for writing an essay?

There are a few crucial steps you may take to ensure you're ready to write an amazing essay:

Understand Your Assignment: What exactly is the purpose of this essay? What are the assignment's duration and deadline? Is there anything else you want to discuss with your teacher or professor?

Define a Topic: If you are permitted to choose your topic, try to choose something that you already know a little bit about and that will keep your attention.

Do Your research: Take notes while you read primary and secondary materials to help you figure out your viewpoint and angle on the issue. These will serve as proof for your points.

Come Up with a Thesis: The thesis statement is the main point or argument that you wish to make. A precise thesis statement is vital for a focused essay, and you should return to it as you write.

Create an Outline: In an outline, sketch out the general framework of your essay. This makes it easy to get started and keeps you on track as you write.
