Hole-Filler Schedule for 5Th Grade Read Alones
Hole-Filler Schedule for 5th Grade Read Alones
The list MODG gives us for reading aloud in 3rd grade is intended to double as a read alone list in 5th. A fifth grader, reading on his own personal level, will go faster than an adult reading aloud, but the pace below (metered to read aloud speed) shouldn’t be too far off. So, if you have a two week gap in reading practice, grab one of the two week books below.
Alternatively, if you find any of these too difficult to read alone, many a reading teacher claims that listening to a book on audio, while following along on the page, greatly increases fluency. I have also found this to be true. The audio pace should still be pretty close to what I’ve metered out below.
There are books on the MODG list that were out of print, or the reading level was un-findable. Those have been excluded from this list.
