Grade 4 ELAL Reading Comprehension Book of Practice Passages

This Grade 4 English Language Arts reading comprehension workbook gives you a full year of no-prep reading practice in one complete resource — 40 original passages, one for every week of the school year, each followed by 5 multiple choice questions written in the style of the Alberta Provincial Achievement Tests; while they do not write an exam until grade 6, continuous practice is the key to success.
