In 4th Grade Reading, students will use a textbook, called the MyBook, to read, think, and write about lots of different types of texts. We will read stories, articles, poems, plays and talk about all the different important features of those texts. Students will think critically, creatively, and logically as they build new knowledge through reading.
Students will focus on many aspects of reading, including:
Comprehension
Vocabulary
Fluency
Connections
Enjoyment
Writing in 4th grade gives the students a pathway to show understanding of information they take in. Students are now writing to communicate with others. Writing tasks will be found in all areas of the curriculum, as students use writing to explain math, tell about history, explore scientific topics, and share their own creative thoughts.
Writing instruction in ELA will include grammar and spelling as well as foundational skills in the different writing genres. Students will learn to write many different types of texts, including:
Narrative
Informational
Opinion
