Here are some reading books that we will be doing for 4th grade this year along with comprehension questions. I will assign a book and have them read 1/2 hour to 1 hour per day depending upon the reading level of the child.
4th grade reading comprehension
Here are some outside links to reading comprehension downloadable pdfs to print off
mr poppers penguins–-we chose only a few pages of this
stone fox—you have to click on the different pages but you can print them right off
Just an fyi, the Stone Fox link no longer works! Thank you so much for everything you do!
I appreciate the FYI 🙂 I fixed it. Be blessed and your welcome!
Thank you for your work that has blessed so many families.
I have a question about the reading comprehension.
My child is in 4th grade (9 years old, 10 in January). She reads well, but does not enjoy reading as much, and will only read half a chapter before getting tired…no matter what book. We’ve tried changing books to see if ANYTHING will interest her, and so far, no luck.
Anyway, what do you think? Should I go back a level and let her read shorter books? Should I use the 4th grade reading list and just let her take twice or three times as long to get through the book? That would mean reading less books per year than what you have laid out. Please give me some advice. Thank you!
I have had a couple like that. Get her a book she enjoys reading. If the level is lower, than do it, she will eventually catch up. All my kids have:) As long as she is reading something. It is better if they can enjoy it, instead of dreading it:)
Boxcar Children and The Whipping Boy no longer work. Just a quick question because new to this site. Do your $25 amazon books cover these or are those lessons different from online version?
I appreciate that. The books you purchase do not have reading comprehension in them.

Amy,
I just discovered your Blog. My daughter is in 4th grade and she is struggling with reading and writing. She attends public school as I work full time out of the home. She just does not seem interested in reading. I have the set of Little House on the Prairie series from when I was little. She just does not want to read them. What could I try to get her more interested so her grades improve?
Find books she enjoys is your biggest key. I have a lot of book recommendations that my kids have used or you can google 4th grade book lists for girls. Try a variety. Mine have all liked different kinds and types. once she finds ones she enjoys you will be all set:)
Love your blog and vlog! Do you have a printable for the boxcar children or where can I find that? Thanks for all that you do!
It must have been removed at one time. Search on Google for pdf boxcar reading comprehension 🙂
I’m having trouble finding the printables for the boxcar children book lesson. Can you guide me in where I should look please?
My apologies…I had to remove the boxcar link it no longer worked. It was an outside link. GOogle…Boxcar children reading comprehension questions chapter PDF and see if you get some results.
I was able to find some. Thanks so very much.
Hi Amy! My daughter and I have started with your curriculum. Thank you so much for the work you have put into this. You are truly an inspiration and I’m excited for this school year using your amazing website. You are so appreciated. I have a question regarding the comprehension for ‘The Boxcar Children.” I don’t see a link for the printable pages. I have only been able to find comprehension questions for chapters 1-3 for free. Do you have a good source where I can find the rest of what we need?
Thank you again for what you do. Grades 1-3 have been a struggle for us but we’ve somehow made it through. Upon discovering what you’ve created, we are feeling relieved and excited to start 4th grade. We have finally found something to fit into our busy schedule between my full-time job and her taekwondo. We are beyond grateful. I could go on. Literally almost in tears over here.
I appreciate your kind words…I would have added that years ago. I would do a quick google search for reading comprehension pages .pdf and that should help find a new one:)
Thank you for the wonderful resources! The link to Little House in the Big Woods doesn’t appear to be working. Can you help!?! Blessings!

Who is the author of the Borrowers?? The link is no longer good. Is there still a guide for it??
I am sorry..this was an outside source so I don’t have any control over it. I am sorry
Hi!
First off, let me thank you for your time and encouragement to homeschool moms out there. I have been homeschooling for four years now. I have six wonderful children and I am always looking for new things to try, however, I have been wanting a more simple curriculum to use, and this is right up my ally! I wanted to point out, as I was going through the links for the fourth grade reading comprehension, I noticed that there were two links that did not work, Little house in the big woods and The Borrowers. Once again, Thank You for your time and love toward other homeschool families.
I appreciate your kind words. They were outside links, I will remove them. If you need ones..google the name of the book and comprehension questions.pdf and you may find more:)
