3rd Grade Social Studies

Third grade social studies helps kids see how communities, cultures, and places fit together. Our 3rd Grade Social Studies collection curates vetted, secular resources for homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teaching learners around ages 8–9. You’ll find story-based curricula, early geography and map skills programs, local and global community studies, and gentle introductions to history and civics. Every resource is reviewed for developmental appropriateness, inclusive representation, and opportunities for hands-on exploration, such as projects, crafts, and simple research. Use the filters to sort by focus (communities, geography, U.S. history, world cultures, or civics), format (books, unit studies, online programs, or printable activities), and learning needs like ADHD, dyslexia, autism, giftedness, or 2e. Many families weave 3rd grade social studies into read-alouds and nature walks using materials from this collection. If you’re not sure how much structure to use at this stage, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you choose resources that match your child’s curiosity and attention span.
