At this age, homeschoolers often gain new independence and develop the ability to tackle challenging assignments or involved projects.

Chapter Book: <em>Henry and Ribsy<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth graders may be ready to handle longer chapter books. Beverly Cleary books are popular for this age group. <a href=\"https:\/\/lightsailed.com\/homeschool\/book\/henry-and-ribsy-9780061972201\/\"><em>Henry and Ribsy<\/em>,<\/a> for example, has a Lexile measure of 740L. The average fourth grader&#8217;s Lexile level ranges from 740L to 940L, so this novel is spot-on. If yours isn\u2019t quite up for reading this book independently yet, it will make a great read-aloud for parents and children to share together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lightsailed.com\/homeschool\/book\/henry-and-ribsy-9780061972201\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lightsailed.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Henry-and-Ribsy.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1787\" width=\"-116\" height=\"-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lightsailed.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Henry-and-Ribsy.jpeg 230w, https:\/\/lightsailed.com\/homeschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Henry-and-Ribsy-202x300.jpeg 202w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">(Available on LightSail)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>2. Reading to Learn: <em>This Country of Ours<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During third and fourth grade, kids move into a phase that educators refer to as \u201creading to learn.\u201d Because these children have mastered the basics of reading, they\u2019re able to focus more of their attention on gaining information from what they read. It\u2019s a great age for students to dive into nonfiction science or history accounts. Your 4th grade homeschool curriculum book list could include <em><a href=\"https:\/\/lightsailed.com\/homeschool\/book\/this-country-of-ours-GB00000003761\/\">This Country of Ours<\/a><\/em>, a classic by H.E.
