Play Grade 3 words

Opens Fredle.

Your child adds the prefixes "trans-", "post-", "inter-", "over-", "under-", "sub-", "non-", "in-", "im-", "anti-" and "mid-", and the endings "-ic", "-al", "-ial", "-ous" and "-ive", and starts on word roots that never stand alone — the part "define" and "definition" share, which is how you spell the unclear vowel in the second. This matches what's covered in Grade 3 classrooms across Ontario.

Checked against The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 1–8: Language, published by Ontario's Ministry of Education. How the words are chosen.

Games that match Grade 3

• Fredle — phonics word puzzle.
• Spell Duel — spell it before it lands.

Opening a game from this page sets the school year to Grade 3, and every game then keeps the words at that level — so a Grade 3 child gets Grade 3 words, not a guess. The school year is a tap away inside the game, so a child moving up a year, or a younger sibling taking a turn, changes it in seconds.
