There are two ways to read decimal numbers. The first is to simply read the digits off. In that case, 4.1 would be "four point one," 5.6 would be "five point six," and so on.
Your other option is to read off the numbers to the right of the decimal point as if they were a single integer, along with the rightmost place value you use. For example, 9.2 would be "nine and two tenths," 8.34 would be "eight and thirty four hundredths," and 9.235 would be "nine and two hundred thirty five thousandths."
Try these on your own using the second way:
0.7
6.1
2.89
0.03
5.09
2.376 (grade 6 only)
1.008 (grade 6 only)
