In this reality, more and more teachers find themselves trying to facilitate mentally overstimulated and disengaged students. 

Our article will explore the ways teachers can overcome these challenges.

As children enter 3rd grade, they become ready to build on their vocabulary and  reading skills.  This is a great time to introduce more complex word recognition strategies  as it helps children decode unfamiliar words and can improve their reading  comprehension.  In addition, this will help improve children’s vocabulary and support their spelling and pronunciation.
