Print Media and Digital Media is a free printable Grade 3 worksheet that introduces students to the differences between physical and electronic forms of media. Through 10 multiple-choice questions, students identify print media such as newspapers, magazines, brochures, flyers, posters, and books; recognize digital media such as websites; and distinguish physical publications from content accessed through electronic devices. The worksheet also checks students’ understanding of digital media formats, including text, images, audio, video, and interactive media. True-or-false and choice-based items ask students to apply these ideas by identifying which type of media can be updated and edited more easily and which supports interactive content.

This Grade 3 worksheet uses 10 multiple-choice questions to help students identify print media and digital media and compare their defining features. Students classify examples such as newspapers and websites, identify digital formats including text, images, audio, video, and interactive media, and recognize that digital content can be updated and support interaction.
Begin by showing students a physical publication, such as a newspaper or book, and an electronic example, such as a website. Use the worksheet’s classification and comparison questions to have students explain whether each example is a physical publication or content accessed through an electronic device. Afterward, discuss why digital media is easier to update and can include interactive content.
Students may confuse a type of media with an example, such as choosing newspapers when asked for the full types of print media or overlooking interactive media in the list of digital formats. They may also misclassify websites as print media or select an incorrect true-or-false response about electronic access, digital updates, or interactive content. Review the difference between a medium’s format and a specific example before grading.
You can assign it as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. The worksheet includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app. The PDF option also supports lessons in settings that are reducing screen time.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size so the 10 multiple-choice items are easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that better supports students working with the media vocabulary.
