Books for 4th Grade

Our Books for 4th Grade collection features stories and nonfiction that speak to readers around ages 9–10 as they begin tackling longer, more complex texts. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular titles across genres—adventure, fantasy, realistic fiction, historical fiction, biography, and narrative nonfiction. Every book is reviewed for literary quality, age-appropriateness, and inclusive representation, with attention to varied reading levels so you can match books to your child’s confidence. Use the filters to sort by genre, subject connection (history, science, social-emotional themes), reading level, and topics such as friendship, courage, nature, or problem solving. You can also filter for high-interest or audio-friendly picks that tend to work well for ADHD or dyslexic readers. Many families build fourth grade language arts and read-aloud time around selections from this collection. If you’re not sure which books will both challenge and delight your child, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you create a custom list.
