Sql-server – SQL Server user cannot select from a table it just created

I'm having trouble understanding permissions in SQL Server (in this case SQL Server 2012, but not sure how version-dependent this issue is). I can create a database, create a login/user on master, create a user for that login on the new database, grant 'CREATE TABLE' and 'ALTER' on the [dbo] schema in that new database, and then (as the new user) create the table but not select from it.

Is there some different permission necessary to SELECT from tables I just created? The end game would be to be able to GRANT various permissions on that table to [public] but if I can't SELECT from it then I'd imagine I can't do anything else on it? (Code follows)

--logged in as 'sa'
    USE [master]
    GO

    CREATE DATABASE [ThisTestDB]

    CREATE LOGIN [TestAcct]
        WITH PASSWORD = 'Passw0rd',
        DEFAULT_DATABASE = [ThisTestDB]

    CREATE USER [TestAcct]
        FOR LOGIN [TestAcct]
    GO

    USE [ThisTestDB]
    GO

    CREATE USER [TestAcct]
        FOR LOGIN [TestAcct]
    GO
--executed all lines above: Command(s) completed successfully

--still logged in as 'sa'
    USE [ThisTestDB]
    GO

    GRANT CREATE TABLE TO [TestAcct]
    GO

    GRANT ALTER ON SCHEMA :: [dbo] TO [TestAcct]
    GO
--execute the above lines: Command(s) completed successfully

--now, logged in as 'TestAcct'
    USE [ThisTestDB]
    GO

    CREATE TABLE tThisTable (
        id      INT IDENTITY(1,1),
        ts      DATETIME,
        Data    VARCHAR(1000))
--execute the above lines: Command(s) completed successfully

--still logged in as 'TestAcct'
    SELECT  * 
    FROM    tThisTable
--executed the above, error thrown:
/*
Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Line 1
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'tThisTable', database 'ThisTestDB', schema 'dbo'.
