Summary:
"In fourth grade, the stakes for your readers go up. Their learning shifts from skills to content. They encounter chapter books regularly. Text books become a staple of the classroom. And standardized testing rears its head for the first time. Expectations skyrocket for children and they're just as high for you. Fortunately, Fourth Grade Readers gives you units of study that meet the challenge." "This book's advice on assessment and differentiation supports classroomwide success. It shows you how to design your own units to meet your classroom's specific demands. And it provides all the helpful planning materials, conferring forms, and booklists you'll need to get started."--BOOK JACKET.
