I remember when I was in those grades, I think that was a little after Goosebumps? But "reluctant readers" might still really get a good kick out of any RL Stine books. They were really popular as a kid and a lot of us devoured them. Same with Nancy Drew, Encyclopedia Browns, and Sweet Valley High books. Just fast reads that are good for those ages I think.
