Knowing the reading levels of the books helps you keep your students reading books at an appropriate reading level.

Fourth Grade Short Stories, Novels, and Poetry
VocabularySpellingCity literature lists include different kinds of literature to read independently or as a class. Your fourth grade students are now beyond struggling with the mechanics of reading and can focus on language and story themes. Whether reading a fictional book, a short story, or a poem, your students can practice these lists with interactive online games or printable fourth grade worksheets from our site.
Common Core State Standards for Literature and Language
VocabularySpellingCity vocabulary word lists for fourth grade include independent reading and poetry selections from the Common Core State Standards literature list. Using these books, students learn skills that help them meet the requirements for both the literature standards and the vocabulary acquisition and use standards. For example, students may work to meet language standard L.4.6. “Acquire and use accurately grade-appropriate general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, including those that signal precise actions, emotions, or states of being (e.g., quizzed, whined, stammered) and that are basic to a particular topic (e.g., wildlife, conservation, and endangered when discussing animal preservation).” VocabularySpellingCity can help your students practice reading, learn new vocabulary, and meet the Common Core State Standards in an engaging, fun way.
