This set pushes fourth graders into multiple-choice analysis. Sophia heads outside at nine o'clock with a telescope, blanket, and star chart; a librarian posts a "New Arrivals" sign; Jordan whispers "I've been waiting for this all year" as the curtain rises; and a vet gives a puppy a shot and schedules a four-week follow-up. Part B targets sharper vocabulary — supported, diction, judgment, and determine — plus inferring boredom from a character sighing and staring out the window during class.
Choosing the best-supported answer from tempting distractors strengthens evidence-based reasoning across both fiction and informational texts.
