Recommended Reading Books: 4th Grade – 5th Grade

My Tutor and Me has compiled this suggested reading list of books for Fourth Grade through Fifth Grade, to enhance reading skills and encourage recreational reading as a habit. Reading is not only a skill to be taught in the classroom and reinforced by a reading tutor. Reading books is a pleasurable experience that should be part of our lives, not just for 4th and 5th graders, but as life-long learners. Check back frequently for new suggestions from our reading tutors.
