Reading (954)

In sixth grade, students are beginning to wonder about themselves and their future. Eager to know what their place in the world will be, they are exploring and discovering their talents. The sixth grader may enjoy books about other students on this journey of self-discovery, as well as books related to their own talents and interests. We recommend that sixth graders read 300 minutes the first three months and increase by 50 minutes each of the last three months.

In fourth grade, most students transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn”. Many students lose an interest in reading for fun, and may prefer comic books and magazines over other types of reading material. Silly and humorous poems, as well as books written in free verse, help remind fourth graders that words can be fun. We recommend that fourth graders start with 200 minutes the first month and increase by 50 minutes each month.
