ELA for 3rd Grade – Digital Warm Up
Hey teachers! Looking for a comprehensive ELA for 3rd grade resource to cover and review all of your important reading and writing skills? Need to make sure your 3rd graders meet their ELA standards and are prepared for state testing? I’ve got just the thing for you!
ELA for 3rd grade is so, so important for students. At the third grade level, they are continuing to build upon the foundation of reading, writing, vocabulary, and reading comprehension skills. These concepts will pave the way for future success in English language arts and all of their other subjects as well.
Even though these skills are fundamental for students’ future success in all areas, there often isn’t enough time in the day to get as much practice in as we would like. That’s why I put together my 3rd Grade Digital ELA Warm Up Spiral Review!
This spiral review warm up is an amazing resource for practicing these important reading and writing skills in an easy, fun way that you can use for review all year long. The fun facts of the day make reviewing ELA enjoyable for students, and the extensive list of topics covered gives you the confidence that students are meeting all of the ELA standards for 3rd grade.
The great thing about this digital format is that it requires no paper copies, so you don’t have to print anything or spend extra time distributing materials to the class. Thanks to the format on Google Slides, you can put the warm up on your Smartboard every day and go through the questions as a class. It can also be used on ANY digital platform, not just google classroom, so it’s perfect for every teacher out there!
Even though the warm up is meant to be used in class every day, students will look forward to learning the answers to the fun facts that are part of the activity (like “Which animal can catch human colds and other illnesses”). Have fun with these ELA warm ups, and enjoy!

How does the ELA for 3rd Grade Digital Warm Up work?
The fun fact structure of these 3rd grade ELA warm ups make it super engaging for kids! Each warm up begins with a fun fact, but they can’t reveal the answer until they answer ten different ELA questions that rotate through the 3rd grade standards. For every correct response, they receive a special prize or treat. If they get an answer wrong, it takes them back to try again! If they’ve collected all ten prizes at the end, they’ll receive the answer to the fun fact!
This is such a fun and engaging way to gather the class together while preparing them to meet the 3rd grade standards at the end of the year. The extra practice will also make sure they nail those difficult concepts that are so important for developing great reading and writing skills!
