GRADES 3 - 5
Introduction & Overview
In third grade and beyond, children typically become 'instructional readers'. This is a lifelong literacy stage, where we read for information, read a variety of genres, and transition to silent reading to improve our comprehension. At this age, most children transition from early readers to chapter books. Here is a great resource from Scholastic for the language and literacy milestones to expect with students grades three through five.
