The 6th reader (4f) in the Abeka® reading program Grade 4, introduces children to classic American legends, fairy tales and folktales; metaphor; and cause/effect. The 28 readings include authors such Aesop, Kipling, and Robert Louis Stevenson, and more. This text includes a focus on script reading, with a short play based on the poem, “Little Boy Blue” and one based on L. Frank Baum’s “Mary’s Garden.” Students are encouraged to act out these plays, and, later on, to create their own script based on “The Gingerbread Man.” For answers to comprehension questions and teacher direction, see the Reading 4 Answer Key with Literary Development and Enrichment Activities.
