Dear Nicole-- It is worth noting that LLI is coming out with a Red Kit designed for 3rd grade and I believe you will find that it addresses Common Core beautifully. If I recall correctly, levels dip back to 2nd grade.
The LLI kit is well worth the purchase and for RtI if done with fidelity. Like another reader commented, 30 minutes is needed because some of the lessons are actually longer than 30 minutes. If students need help with comprehension, LLI is absolutely awesome for that. For students needing help with decoding, it does have excellent components for that; however, I would do another 10 minute word work or phonics lesson during the day. Using the Blue kit for 3rd grade will work, but as I said, you might check out the Red Kit!!
