Georgia 3.F.H.3

3.F.H.3 is a Georgia English Language Arts standard. These are the expectations under it.

• 3.F.H.3.a

  Read phrases and sentences written in cursive.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students recognize cursive letter shapes, including letters that look different from print. They separate connected letters into words and read cursive sentences for meaning.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students read familiar and unfamiliar cursive words without needing a printed version. They accurately read short notes, sentences, and simple paragraphs written in clear cursive.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may confuse cursive letters with similar shapes, such as b and f, or r and s. They may also treat connected letters as one unfamiliar symbol instead of separating the word into letters.

04

How to Assess It

Give students a three-sentence cursive note and ask them to copy it in print, then answer one question about its meaning.

1. 01

   Give pairs cursive letter and print letter cards to match, then use the matched cards to decode three cursive words.

2. 02

   Display a short cursive message and ask students to explain which letter shapes or connections helped them read it.

3. 03

   Play Cursive Word Bingo by showing cursive words while students cover the matching printed words on their boards.

4. 04

   Have students read a cursive grocery list, invitation, or thank-you note and identify the information needed to complete a simple task.
