Our 16-week 4th Grade Reading & Study Skills Program helps students become more strategic, independent readers while developing the comprehension and study skills needed for upper elementary success. Students attend two 60-minute live lessons per week (32 lessons total) in small cohorts of up to 6 students.
Students learn and practice:
-
Strategic Reading: Using skimming, scanning, and close reading to approach texts efficiently.
-
Main Idea & Supporting Details: Identifying central ideas and distinguishing important information from minor details.
-
Text Structures: Recognizing cause and effect, compare and contrast, sequence, problem and solution, and description.
-
Story Elements: Analyzing characters, setting, plot, conflict, theme, and point of view.
-
Vocabulary & Morphology: Using roots, prefixes, suffixes, and context clues to understand unfamiliar words.
-
Inference & Text Evidence: Drawing conclusions and supporting answers with specific information from the text.
-
Study Skills: Organizing information, identifying key concepts, and applying effective reading strategies to academic assignments.
Lessons emphasize practical application, helping students become more efficient readers and stronger independent learners.
Lesson recordings are available for review, additional practice, or missed classes.
