What do 4th graders learn in ELA?
In fourth grade, students read longer fiction and nonfiction texts. They move from learning to read to reading to learn, and they write with more detail and evidence.
- Reading Literature. Students describe characters, settings, and events in a story. They compare points of view and explain themes, using details from the text.
- Reading Informational Text. Students find main ideas and key details in nonfiction. They explain how an author supports points with reasons and evidence.
- Vocabulary. Students use context clues to figure out word meanings. They work with prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, antonyms, and figurative language.
- Grammar. Students use correct capitalization and punctuation. They learn about adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and verb tenses.
- Writing. Students write opinion, informative, and narrative pieces. They organize their ideas and support them with facts or details.
- Speaking and Listening. Students participate in small group discussions and present ideas clearly. They build on others' ideas and ask questions to understand better.
