Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Grade 3 students often confuse 'their,' 'there,' and 'they're' because they sound identical but have very different meanings and uses in sentences.
• Mixing up 'its' and 'it's' is a common Grade 3 mistake; remember 'it's' always means 'it is' and 'its' shows ownership without an apostrophe.
• Grade 3 writers sometimes pick the wrong homograph meaning in context, like thinking 'bark' means tree covering when the sentence is about a dog.
