Reading Freedom Book 4 brings students to the level of independent reading skills. Students learn how to approach longer words using syllabification and structural analysis techniques. Students also develop their skills in working with compound words and contractions. Through a variety of motivational exercises and activities they gradually develop their skills so they can read longer or more complex words with accuracy and fluency. Upon completion of this book, students will be able to read independently.

The Reading Freedom 2000 Diagnostic Handbook should be used to place students at the correct level in the program. In order to work successfully with the Reading Freedom Activity Books, teachers should refer to the Reading Freedom Teacher Resource Book. Student progress can be monitored using the Reading Freedom Achievement Tests book
