Doing literature circles would be helpful because the students can share jobs and focus on what they are assigned; when the groups meet you have discussions and they can help each other. Doing a mini-lesson on plots, character etc can help the students get started and you showing them an example and explain is as much great details or as clear as you can and they will get the concept once they are involved in the process. I hope this helps, good luck.

Is there any research (or personal thoughts) that suggest that 4th/5th grade students should focus their reading on one chapter book at a time? My thinking is that it is difficult to keep track of plot, characters, etc. if they are reading more than one.
