Top Book PicksfromMrs. Knox's Fourth GradersStudents in Mrs. Knox’s class compiled this list of favorite novels. For parents and students who may need suggestions for appropriate, engaging reading for fourth graders, this list may be for you. This list is in no particular order, and the reading levels are varied. If you are unsure of the readability of any particular book, try the 5 Finger Test. On any particular page of the book, if your child makes more than 5 errors, the readability is more than likely too difficult. If this is the case, consider using this book as a Read Aloud. We will continue adding titles to this list. Email me with your suggestions! Happy Reading!
