3rd and 4th grade are very important. It's where you get ready for their big exams in 5th grade! So you have to take it very seriously. Reading, writing, math, social studies, science, there's a bit of everything. In 3rd grade, its mostly reading and math though. In 4th grade its all about writing.

Reading

Writing

  • Have fun with reading! Go to the library every 3-4 weeks and pick out 2 books that you think you will like.
  • When you have found a good book, open it up to any page. Read the page. If you find 5 words you don't understand, that book is to hard for you. If you read that page in under 10 seconds, and understand all of the words, that book is to easy for you.
  • Start reading chapter books.
  • Keep a reading log, and set a goal for yourself. Like, by the end of this year I want to have read 30 chapter books.

  • Start writing short little 2-4 page stories.
  • Write a book! And when you finish, share it with us in the forums!
  • Keep a diary or a journal, it helps your writing too.

Here are some of my favorite chapter books:

Percy Jackson series, by Rick Riordan

Frindle, By  Andrew Clements

Harry Potter, J.K Rowling

Spirit Animals

Warriors


Read these and tell us what you think in the forums, also post your favorite chapter books.


It' summer!!! But don't stop reading. I'll give you guys a goal, by the end of summer try to have read 300 pages. Post "I did it!" In the forums if you have done it.


Now write 3-6 paragraph essays on these topics and post them in the forums! Remember it doesn't have to be true.
