Extracurricular reading in grade 5: list of literature, books, works
Extracurricular reading in grade 5 becomes more difficult than in elementary school. While this seems like an optional procedure that only the school needs, it is important to understand that it benefits the child himself. He becomes more erudite and does better in school.
Reading develops a person at any age. But the schoolchildren’s views on this world are still not formed, as well as their personality. Literature can have a positive impact on children and form the right values in them.
Extracurricular reading in grade 5 develops the child’s outlook and makes him more erudite.
Summer reading in grade 5 in Russia performs the following functions:
- Provides an understanding of more complex terms. If in elementary school the book gave the child a general idea of peace, friendship, good and evil, then literature in high school raises more serious problems.
- Develops horizons. This contributes to better school progress. The child also develops critical thinking, learning to give examples and arguments that he learns from the works of authors.
- Develops analytical skills. If a child, after reading a book, analyzes it and draws conclusions, then he develops his analytical skills. This will help him make the right decisions in difficult situations.
- Prepares for school. Many people, not only children, notice that if you do not study or read for a long time, you begin to feel uncomfortable, and it becomes more and more difficult to return to school. To prevent this from happening to your child, you need to devote a few minutes daily to reading.
All this is already a sufficient argument for a child to read in the summer. Make sure you have enough motivation so that the child is not tormented.
The following indicators are the norm for reading speed in grade 5:
- The child should read 120 words per minute.
- The diction must be clear, the stress must be correct.
- Endings should be pronounced, sounds should not be swallowed.
It is sometimes useful to control the reading speed of a student at home by timing the time yourself.

- The Little Prince by Exupery;
- “The Secret of Edwin Drood” by Dickens;
- “The Night Before Christmas” by Gogol;
- Gorky’s Childhood;

You can also add poems by Yesenin, Pushkin, Nekrasov or Tyutchev to this list. If a child learns a few verses in the summer, he will further improve his memory.
Reading for a student is an important development tool. It contributes to the development of many skills and the formation of views of the world.
