Fiction or Nonfiction Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

These 6 worksheets for 3rd grade (Grade 3 in Canada) focus on Fiction or Nonfiction, with 58 questions that build the skill step by step. Upper elementary writing asks for clear, correct sentences, and practicing Fiction or Nonfiction on its own helps the skill show up in your child's everyday writing. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to Common Core RL.3.10, which focuses on reading stories and poems at grade level with understanding. It also touches RI.3.10, reading nonfiction at grade level with understanding. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Before printing, try the Fiction or Nonfiction video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to write two sentences of their own using the skill.
• Ask your child to explain why an answer is right, not just what it is.
• Turn a mistake into a mini lesson: fix it together and write one new example.
