4th Grade Writing Rubrics
These rubrics are used to assess your child's writing. We usually focus on one or two elements at a time.
Recommended Reading
Your child should read any book that interests them. If a book is too easy, it may bore them. If it is too hard, they may struggle to comprehend. Books that are too difficult to read independently can be great for shared family reading. Use the lists below to guide you to find books that will interest your child in reading, and be sure to check our Scholastic book orders for the newest book releases.
