Just a reminder to continue to read with your child nightly. Better readers make for better writers and this is a big shift in the junior grades. Read anything! Online, magazines, childrens picture books, anything that interests your child. read apart and together and talk about what you are reading. Discuss the problem and solution in books and articles together and ask the WHY question a lot. Why do you like this book? Why is the character doing that? Why did that person say/do that in the book? Please don't just accept the answer "because." Aks for more details about the answer.
Also here is a website that lists some books by grade that may be of interest to you. It is not the only list out there but merely one of many. Book/Grade correlation
