4th Grade Report Overview

Bookworms Grade 4 instructional materials partially meet the expectations of alignment. Suggested texts and text sets are high quality, engaging, and organized to support students' growing literacy skills over the course of the school year. Some texts are connected via topics to build students' knowledge. Text-dependent questions and tasks in writing, reading, speaking, and listening are rigorous and include guidance and support for the teacher to implement with students. Foundational skills practice to build students' fluency and comprehension is robust to support students' ability to read different types of texts. Daily writing tasks are text-specific and offer practice to build component skills in writing and research. There are some components of the program that are not fully outlined; these include materials to support students' independent reading, writing process practice, and culminating tasks. The program does include suggestions for outside resources, but teachers will have to identify, procure, and integrate them separate from these core materials.
