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?

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!

Phonics Workbook for the phonics screening check

 Phonics in the Foundation Stage (Ages 3 to 5) Phonics is the relationship between sounds (phonemes) and letters or groups of letters (graphemes).

There are further activities on the letters of the alphabet at later stages of the book (p. 28...
