Teaching reading

My students are in 4^th grade, according to the reading and literacy standards they should be able to read and write fluently now. Some of my students are in that level, but most of them aren’t. I am already teaching comprehension in different subject matters. There are definitively some literacy challenges, that I am trying to address little by little.  We did a read aloud text together as a class, Shadow by Michael Morpurgo. They really enjoyed the reading, I found many of them have difficulties answering questions by themselves; therefore we did it as a group. I have a round table and I ask them to help me reading to see how their decoding is doing. Their AR tests in English could be better being their native language. When we have readings I always try to use Webb’s depth of knowledge questions. Most of the students are reading 4.5-5.1 level books. I am following the common core standards; this trimester was reading informational text, and including science and social studies topics. We are also doing spelling, and daily paragraph editing for conventions, and writing papers. ELA is not my favorite to teach but I am glad my first year I am not responsible of teaching to decode and encode. I am taking a phonics class, and tutoring one of my students with the systematic action reading phonics course. I am getting my practice and experience now in that so I can do it easily in the future.
