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 ...

The Spider and the Beehive

Once upon a time, there was a small African

village. In it, lived a little boy and a tricky

spider. The spider thought he was smarter

than everyone else.

The boy had a special talent. He was able

to find the biggest, sweetest fruit in all

the jungle.

One day the spider was hungry, so he

asked the boy,

"Will you take me to the

best plums?"

The boy agreed.


They walked deep into the jungle to the

boy's favorite plum tree. The spider felt

greedy. He ate up every single plum and

did not share any!


The spider rubbed his belly.

He said, "Now, can you take me to the

best bananas?"


They walked to the boy's favorite banana

tree. The spider ate up every single banana

and did not share any!


His belly was full, but the spider said,

"Now, can you take me to the best honey?"


The spider and the boy walked farther

and farther into the jungle.


Then the boy said, "Inside this hive is the

most delicious honey in the world.

The spider squeezed into a hole in the

hive. He ate up all the sweet golden

honey and did not share any!


The spider was ready for the next treat.

But when he tried to climb out of the hive,

he was stuck. His belly had become too big!

"Help! Get me out!" he cried.


The boy said,

"You have not been very nice

to me. Good-bye, greedy spider!"

Then off he went.


The spider yelled and yelled. But nobody

could hear his cries. He was too far from

the village. For an entire week, the spider

sat in that hive.


Then, finally, he squeezed out.


And from that day on, the spider always

shared his fruit with his friends.

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...
