Book 4 stories were selected for their appeal to young readers and represent a wide variety of literary styles, including fiction, humor, folktales, biography, mythology, history, science, and nature study. This resource is for grade 4 and aligns to the International Reading Association (IRA) and National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Standards #1 and 3.
Developing Reading Power is a unique supplemental series in which high-interest stories are brought together with activities that promote reading skills. Emphasis is on literal and inferential comprehension. Since students learn to read by reading, one of our first goals was to select stories that children would want to read. Our second goal was to make sure that children could read the stories. That is why we measured the readability level and determined that many of the stories are within the students’ independent reading range for each grade. This resource contains a readability range from 39 to 52 Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) units. However, we also included content that is at the instructional level for each grade, making it possible for students to gain understanding of important new concepts, refine skills, and improve reading vocabulary.
