In teaching, there is a shift of focus that takes place at around 4th grade where literacy instruction changes from \u201clearning to read\u201d to \u201creading to learn.\u201d It is a known phenomenon that a number of students who did quite well in the primary years struggle with this new type of reading. Students reading at their frustration level find it to be well, frustrating. Teachers in all subject areas discover that using the Reading Comprehension Checklist helps students tackle tough text.
