Description

Fourth grade units for English begin with alphabetizing and dictionary skills, word meaning and origins, and recognizing root words. Fourth graders identify antonyms, synonyms, idioms, and heteronyms as well as learn prefixes and suffixes. Please note that students will need a Webster's Collegiate Dictionary or The New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary for Unit 401. They will also begin to use a thesaurus in Unit 403. Students analyze literature, its themes, plots, and characters. They also learn to distinguish between different literature forms: fables, fantasy, legends and myths. Response to literature is introduced in Unit 406. Grammar skills such as organization of simple and compound sentences, applying regular and irregular verbs, subject-verb agreement, appositives and participial phrases are practiced. Students will also study writing skills by writing paragraphs, writing a dialogue, taking notes, doing research, and giving a speech. Cursive handwriting is also practiced (but not taught) along with phonics reinforcement.
