Goal Setting Guide for Teachers


4th Graders like series and informational books... consider picture books babyish... like mysteries... have a weird sense of humor and like gross, corny jokes!

Student reads independently; parent reads aloud to student; buddy reading; partner reading

4th graders still need plenty of independent reading time to further develop vocabulary and fluency. Mixing it up, though, by adding buddy reading (pairing an older student with a younger student) and partner reading (peers reading together) keeps these readers engaged. BOOK IT! goals are flexible and can be changed from month to month. If parents find that their child prefers to read independently, they can still participate by reading the same book and discussing it. The Reading Contract works well at this grade level.
