Mrs. Downs' Fourth Grade 2007-2008 Reading List

Fourth Grade Reading List
Gifted Reading

I have chosen two books that all students should enjoy. I am taking the approach that summer reading should be fun. These books should be easy reading for my class. In both of these books, a girl is the main character. Later during the school year, we will read several books with a boy as the main character. Happy reading!

Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh

Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Ericsson Lindgren
