Grade 4 English Lessons

Grade 4 marks the beginning of upper primary, and children need to start using more detailed and significant language in both their speech and their writing. Now that they are more mature, children can learn the language on their own to a greater extent than previously possible. It is important for teachers and parents to offer considerable direction, concentrated on reading and hearing standard English.

Children need special attention when learning to read during this stage. At this point, students can read texts that do not have pictures and that discuss complicated relationships among people. At this time, children can read both contemporary and classical stories as part of their material.

At this point, students should start facing reading comprehension questions that need them to infer meaning.

Introducing inferential questions should happen step by step and be matched to the level of mastery demonstrated by each group of students. In particular, this is necessary for children who are not native speakers of English.

Pictures should no longer be included in writing prompts once grade 4 is reached for purposes of skill practice and development. At this point, students need to produce both descriptive and narrative texts.
