I am wondering if it was hard for your kids to read and comprehend their Social Studies or Science texts when they were just introduced to them - around 4th/5th grade...that is really the first time they are asked to read for content - just wondering what your experience was like.

No, my daughter did really well in these texts, and even better if followed up or supplemented with historical novels/stories that she felt were "interesting" on the subject. (I.e., when learning about Native Californians I had her read "Ishi the Last Yahi" to get a better understanding of real Native Americans.)
Still to this day, if the subject isn't interesting, she won't do as well, so she does better the more interested she is in the subjuct matter.
To this day she is still remembers details about California's native peoples. (She's 16 now).

NO my son and daughter did well with that.
It was the GRAMMAR/SPELLING/LANGUAGE ARTS that was tough/hard for both of them!
I can't wait for 6th grade & 9th grade work this year!!!

SOCIAL STUDY IS THE HARDEST.
