The Fifth Grade Reader: A Fun 5th Grade Chapter Book With 12 Short Stories for Kids Ages 10-12 (Reading Comprehension Grade 5) Paperback – September 8, 2024

This is a great book and has great short stories in it that are easy for kids with smaller attention spans and kids struggling to read huge chapter books. The stories are fun and keep my son interested.

I just finished The Fifth Grade Reader, and it’s a fantastic collection for any 5th grader!The mix of fiction and non-fiction stories is perfect for keeping kids engaged while also improving their reading comprehension.I especially liked how each story is broken into chapters, making it easier for kids to transition into longer chapter books.The vocabulary is spot on, challenging but not overwhelming, and the comprehension questions at the end of each story are a great way to spark meaningful discussions.Great book indeed!

My child resisted reading aloud and opted to ditch reading in lieu of other activities in her free time. I bought this book based upon the excellent customer reviews, and I’m so grateful I did, because now she looks forward to reading it to me every day. She’s stated repeatedly how much she enjoys the stories and is sad to finish.

If you've got a young student in fifth grade (or getting ready for it) this book is a great extracurricular resource. Each of the twelve short stories is curated for this very specific age range, and the stories are interesting enough to keep young readers engaged as they're learning. Read and re-read with your kids; they'll appreciate the format while strengthening their vocab and comprehension skills.

These books are very complicated even for a 5th grader. I must say, I usually consider myself smarter then a 5th grader, but these books make me wonder. If your getting them to help your child, they may not be your best option. Lots of statistical data in them, not very helpful if your child is trying to understand stuff.
