Grade 3 Listening practice

5 Grade 3 listening lessons, including listen for places, biggest number, tricky spelling words, remember the story, groups by ear. Each one has a short video where Pip explains the idea, a worked example, and endless new practice questions with step-by-step help when a child gets stuck.

Step 1: Listen for places

Directions use place words: next to, across from, beside, under.

Tip: Picture a map as you listen.

Step 2: Biggest number

Hold numbers in your head and compare them.

Tip: Compare the hundreds first, then the tens.

Step 3: Tricky spelling words

Tricky words have silent letters or unexpected spellings.

Tip: Break the word into syllables: dif-fer-ent. Spell each part.

Step 4: Remember the story

Listen for who, where and when, then the problem.

Tip: After you listen, retell it in one sentence in your head.

Step 5: Groups by ear

Equal groups mean multiplication: 4 bags with 3 apples is 4 × 3.

Tip: Listen for how many groups and how many in each.
