#The latest time for Kriyat Shema is the end of the third hour (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]] <ref>S”A 58, 89:1 based on Rambam in Sh”t Pear Hadar 44 where he writes that all times of Chazal are [[Shaot Zmaniot]]. The opinion of the Rambam is also found in Pirush Mishnayot Brachot ch. 1 and in Hilchot Tefilah 3 where he equates 4 hours with a third of the day. This is also the opinion of the Meiri [[Brachot]] 9b, Rav Ovadyah MeBarentura, and Sh”t Maharil 163. However Tosfot HaRosh [[Brachot]] 3b s.v. Kiyvan writes to calculate the hours equally all year round. See Peni Yehoshua on Brachot who supports the approach of the Tosfot Harosh. The Achronim rule like S”A including Pri [[Chadash]] 58:2, Sh”t Shagat Aryeh 5e, Shulchan Gavoha 58:13, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 58:3, Chaye Adam 21:3, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 17:1, Sh”t Rav Poalim 2:2,3,19, Ben Ish Chai Vaera 5, Sh”t Chesed LeAvraham Teomim Kama O”C 7, Mishna Brurah 58:5, and Kaf Hachaim 58:3. </ref>) which is a quarter of the day. <ref>[[Brachot]] 9b has a dispute of the [[latest time for Shema]]. The Gemara 10b rules like Rabbi Yehoshua who says that it’s the 3rd hour. So hold the Rambam(Kriyat Shema 1:11), Tur, and S”A 58:6. Rambam, Meiri [[Brachot]] 9b, Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah 4b hold that after [[HaNetz]] until the 3rd hour is only bedieved (after the fact. However implied from majority of Rishonim(including Tur and S”A) is that it’s even Lechatchila. Machsor Vitri (1 pg 7), Yerayim 13, Roke’ach 320, Ravyah 1:15, Rabbenu Yehonatan Melunil ([[Brachot]] 1), Siddur Rav Amram 1:15-6 rule the ending time is the beginning of the third hour. However S”A 58:6 rules it’s the end of the 3rd hour based on majority of Rishonim including Tosfot (Avofda Zara 4b s.v. Betelat), Smag (Asin 18), Smak 104, Rambam (Kriyat Shema 1:11), Meharam Rikatani 5, Piskei Rid ([[Brachot]] 10b), Piskei Riaz, Eshkol 1:5, [[Chinuch]] 420, Meiri ([[Brachot]] 9b), Sefer HaBatim (Shema 2:6), Orchot Chaim (Shema 5), Rashbetz ([[Brachot]] 10b).</ref>

#Even though the primary time for the latest time of Shema is the third hour of the day according to the Gra, one should be strict for Magen Avraham to say before the third hour according to his calculation.<ref>Exactly how to calculate the end of the third hour is an argument of the poskim. The gra says that the day begins at sunrise and ends at sunset while the Magen Avraham says days begins at alot hashachar and ends at tzet hakochavim. Mishna Brurah 58:4 quotes both opinions and doesn’t make a ruling. Aruch hashulchan 58:14, Chazon Ish OC 13:3-4, Sh”t [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14673&st=&pgnum=67 Iggerot Moshe OC 1:24], YD 3:129:3, Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 3:71, all accept the later time of the Gra as the primary opinion. Igrot Moshe YD 4:48:4 writes that although the Gra is primary a person should be strict for the Magen Avraham. See Igrot Moshe 1:24 where he writes that on the charts you should print the Gra's times since that is the primary times. See however, Sh”t Teshuvot viHanhagot 1:56 quoting Rav Aharon Kotler and Orchos Rabbeinu 1:53 quoting the Steipler.  </ref>
