Hey everyone! A while back, I posted on Instagram about needing book suggestions to build my fourth grade library as I gear up for my big move (EEK!). So many of you came to my rescue with some absolutely amazing book suggestions! So many suggestions, in fact, that I felt that I needed to compile them all in one comprehensive list for you! Okay, okay. This list is LONG overdue, I know. The end of the school year got me good. But, since it’s the first week of summer, I finally have a chance to sit down and put it all together for you!

Happy book hunting!
When I taught fourth I read The Books Of Elsewhere by Jacqueline West and my students loved it. It’s supenseful and has some great twists and turns that the kids loved. We made lots of predictions with the book.
I LOVE reading book recommendations from other intermediate teachers. Thanks for sharing. A lot of my favorites are on your list. This year I have read aloud “Fish in a Tree”, “Mrs. Piggle Wiggle”, “Out of My Mind”, “Hundred Penny Box”, “No Talking”, “Because of Mr. Terupt” and countless picture books. I am hoping to end the year with “Gregor the Overlander”. I love reading the first book in a series in hopes that they will be inspired to read the subsequent books. Read Aloud is one of my favorite parts of the day. It is such a great time to incorporate so much teaching.
