Reading Comprehension for Grade 4

Image
  Reading comprehension for grade 4 involves understanding longer and more detailed texts. Students analyze the text for main ideas, supporting details, cause and effect, and inferences. Here’s an example: Passage: The sun was setting as Mia and her brother, Alex, reached the top of the hill. They had been hiking all afternoon, and now they could see the entire valley below. The trees looked like tiny green dots, and the river sparkled in the fading sunlight. “It was worth the climb,” said Alex, smiling. Mia nodded, feeling proud of their effort. They unpacked their sandwiches and watched as the sky turned shades of orange and pink. Questions: Why were Mia and Alex hiking? What did they see when they reached the top of the hill? How did Alex feel about the hike? What happened to the sky as the sun set? What does the word “sparkled” mean in the passage? This level encourages students to think critically and expand their vocabulary. Would you like another example or a specific topic ...

Teeth - Jolly Phonics Level 3 Readers

 Smile! What do you see? A mouth, lips

and teeth. Teeth help us to bite into our

food and cut it up into smaller lumps.


Different shaped teeth have different

jobs. Some are shaped like spades and

we use them to bite into food. Some are

sharp and pointed, so as to shred the

lumps of food into smaller bits. Then

there are wide, flat teeth at the back of

the mouth, which mash the food into a

pulp.


When we are born, we have no teeth

that can be seen yet. The teeth are all

hidden under our gums. When they

start to develop, they can make the

gums sore. This is called teething.


We have more than one set of teeth.

As small children, we get a set of milk

teeth. There are only twenty of these

milk teeth. They start to wobble and

fall out when we are about six or seven.


Then we get our next set of teeth. These

adult teeth are much bigger and are all

we get for the rest of our lives. So it is

very important to keep them healthy.


Inside the mouth,

it is dark and wet.

There are some living things so small

that we cannot see them. They like dark

and wetness, so they live and breed

inside our mouths.


If they breed on food which has stuck

to our teeth, the teeth can rot and go

bad.


Brushing our teeth can help stop this

happening. This is why teeth need to be

brushed when you get up in the

morning and before you go to bed.

Brush the inside, outside and top of the

teeth.


Some food is good for teeth.

apples

milk

cheese


Some food is bad for teeth.

chocolate

lemonade 

lollipops


Dentists are trained to help us protect

our teeth and gums. They have lots of

different equipment.


Dentists have a lamp, which they shine

into the mouth so they can see it

better. Then they use a small mirror to

help them see all the teeth. They poke

around with a sort of metal toothpick,

which helps them look for holes.


If a tooth has a hole in it, it needs a

filling to stop the rot spreading. The

dentist starts by injecting a painkiller

into the gum to make it numb. Then the

dentist drills out the rotten part of the

tooth. The hole that is left is called a

cavity, and this is what the dentist fills.


A tooth is made up of three main parts.

It has a root, which joins it to the gum

and to the rest of the skull. Then, on

the inside, there are lots of nerves. It is

the nerves which sometimes feel pain.

The outside of the tooth is coated with

white enamel, which is very hard.


Different animals have different sorts of

teeth. Animals' teeth have adapted to

do all sorts of different jobs. Tusks are

the biggest sort of teeth.


Animals such as rabbits, squirrels,

lemmings and muskrats have long,

strong teeth. These teeth keep on getting

bigger and must be used often or they

will get too long. Pet rabbits sometimes

have to have long teeth filed down by a

vet if they have not nibbled much hard

food.


Sharks have very sharp, pointed teeth

They develop teeth all the time. So if

one tooth drops or falls out, they have

a second one waiting to fill the gap. So

sharks never run out of teeth!

The Tortoise and the Hare

Image
Once upon a time, there lived a tortoise and a hare. The hare, who was very fast, always teased the slow tortoise. "Ha, ha, ha! Even a snail is faster than you!" he said. The tortoise did not like the teasing one bit. Finally, he decided to do something about it. "Let's have a race, " he said. The hare fell down laughing. "OK, but you know I will win," he said. "We will see," said the tortoise. On the day of the big race, all of the animals came to watch. "On your mark, get set, go!" said the fox. The hare hopped. Fast, fast, fast. The tortoise walked. Slow, slow, slow. The hare hopped. Fast, fast, fast. The tortoise walked. Slow, slow, slow. Soon the hare was way ahead of the tortoise. "Ha, ha, ha! I can take a nap and still wake up in time to beat the tortoise," said the hare. So he did. Snore, snore, snore. But as the hare napped, the tortoise walked Slow, slow, slow. And guess what? By and by, the tortoise passed the h...

Phonics Workbook for the phonics screening check

Image
 Phonics in the Foundation Stage (Ages 3 to 5) Phonics is the relationship between sounds (phonemes) and letters or groups of letters (graphemes). Learning phonics involves listening to sounds, recognising sounds and discriminating between sounds as well as learning how sounds are represented by letters. When first learning phonics, children should have many opportunities to enjoy listening to and reading stories, poems, songs and rhymes, as well as information books about topics that interest them. How this book is organised Letters of the alphabet (p. 6-13) introduces upper- and lower-case letters, in order, by name. You could use these terms with your child or capital letters' and "lower-case letters' (as there is no other simple term for "lower-case'*). The letters are introduced in a way that helps children learn letter formation as well as position in the alphabet. There are further activities on the letters of the alphabet at later stages of the book (p. 28...

  Once upon a time there was a pretty cockroach named Martina. She lived in a nice little house. One day she found a gold coin while sweeping her floor. What should she buy? Should she buy shoes? Should she buy candy? "No, I will buy perfume, " she said. She bought perfume and put it on. Then she fixed her hair and put on a pretty dress. Martina looked and smelled beautiful!
