Language Arts 4 Child Kit
Grade 4 adds speed reading, the writing process, researching, and diagramming. Child Kits contain the texts, readers, and all essential materials. Program requires both Parent and Child Kits.
The Abeka language arts program integrates and balances the learning of language subject matter with the development of language skills. Grammar, word usage, mechanics, spelling, vocabulary, reading, and penmanship are taught, practiced, and reviewed thoroughly. Your child will also make great progress in the skills of cursive writing, oral reading and interpretation, reading with speed and comprehension, clear and correct oral and written communication, and logical thinking. The Grade 4 Language Arts Child Kit contains texts and correlated assessments for the grade 4 language arts program—11 items total. (Also highly recommended are the novels Saved at Sea and Song of the Brook for book reports, sold separately.) Combine this kit with the Grade 4 Language Arts Parent Kit, and you can confidently teach and guide your fourth grader through a year of academic excellence in language arts. He will have begun building a foundation for lifelong learning and success.
Kit Features
- Reading—Reading from a wide variety of authors and genres in his four story collections gives your child insight into his world and inspires him with Christian ideals and spiritual values. Watch his reading comprehension and vocabulary take a leap with the added emphasis on reading speed and comprehension skills.
- Grammar and Composition—You will be thrilled to see your fourth grader become more comfortable with correct grammar in conversation and composition.
- Spelling, Vocabulary, and Poetry—A straightforward teach/practice/test approach makes spelling "second nature" to your young writer. He will also learn to spell, define, and use 5–10 vocabulary words in each lesson. And what an accomplishment when he can recite from memory all 6 poems!
- Penmanship—Daily penmanship practice begins with a review of cursive letter formation and then graduates into creative writing and journal entries.
Language arts programs listed in this section cover most areas of language arts (reading/literature, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting) in one curriculum, although some skill areas may be covered with less intensity than a focused, stand-alone course.
The Abeka® distinctives start very early and flow through all levels, such as a cursive-first handwriting approach (starts in K and reviewed up to 6), thorough grammar (with diagramming), foundation-based composition skills (begins in 1st grade) and listening/speaking skills (including reading aloud and poetry memorization). All with Christian, patriotic-focused content in a spiral format with detailed teacher instruction. In 1st grade, skills introduced in previous years (phonics/reading, optional cursive, poetry, and vocabulary skills) are enriched with creative writing and sentence-level mechanics, weekly spelling tests, and oral reading. In Grade 2, transition to reading comprehension and beginning literature analysis occurs. Grade 3 begins the four-pronged emphasis of reading skills (analysis & discussion), writing (academic & creative), spelling/poetry, and grammar. Grade 4 (Level A) adds speed reading, the writing process, researching, and diagramming. Students refine all skills in Grade 5 (B), aiming for varied reading and writing (emphasizing research skills), as they head for Grade 6 (C), which cements the elementary skills in preparation for Abeka® upper-level courses.
Abeka® Language Arts Grade 4 (Level A) adds speed reading, the writing process, researching, and diagramming. A complete Language Arts program requires both a Child and a Parent Kit. Child Kits contain the texts, readers, and all essential materials. Parent Kits include full lesson plans, answer keys, and level-based required materials. Additional lesson plans, student consumables, and reinforcement/enrichment ELA items are available on the Rainbow Resource website.
