Fourth Grade Reading

Reading requires practice. When a child is struggling with fourth grade reading, the only road to improvement is reading more frequently, perhaps with assistance from a parent or tutor. Often when classes disperse for summer vacation, however, such tasks are put on the backburner. One ways reading skills may be improved in preparation for the 5th grade is by following a summer reading program. Summer reading programs provide lists of books appropriate for a child's age or grade level that should be read for enjoyment over summer vacation. There are a number of sources for finding recommended fourth grade reading. Education World, http://www.education-world.com.com, for instance, provides summer reading lists for grades kindergarten through eight. With any luck, students will be enthralled by these books and improve their reading comprehension and speed without even realizing it, entering the 5th grade prepared to tackle more challenging assignments.
