About This Book
This practical resource is a compendium of authentic and hands-on literacy activities that will engage, challenge, and delight students. Specifically targeting Grade 4, these lessons and strategies enhance literacy instruction and encourage critical thinking.

The original and entertaining activity sheets, graphic organizers, and examples are ready to be used or adapted to a wide variety of stories, novels, and nonfiction. With fully developed lesson plans, the practical resources in this book will motivate students of all backgrounds, including English language learners, gifted and twice exceptional learners, and all students who are comfortable or not yet comfortable in the English classroom.
This book is the first in a set of three literacy titles focused on Grades 4, 5, and 6. Each book contains lessons and units to help develop deeper learning and encourage student creativity.
