Reading

In fourth grade, students transition from using their reading strategies to decode words, to using comprehension strategies that allow students to dig deeper in their reading while supporting their thinking with text evidence.

Your child's teacher will pace the SOL strands and skills during Class Connect Sessions this year as the pace of learning is set by the needs of students. The attachment below is a guide of objectives that your student will cover throughout the year. This is a valuable guide to you as well as the Learning Coach. The beginning of the school year is a great opportunity to review the 4th grade objectives and reflect on what your child's strengths and weaknesses. This will allow you to focus heavily on those objectives that you feel your student may need additional practice in.
