ENGLISH LANGUAGE Overview Cont.
The following are the main topics which we will be covered in grade 4.
READING
The school’s curriculum focuses on developing the knowledge and skills that
will enable students to become effective readers. The reader must be able to
think clearly, creatively, and critically about the ideas and information
encountered in texts in order to understand, analyze, and absorb them and to
recognize their relevance in other contexts. The reading program includes a
wide variety of literary, informational, and with graphics texts
COMPREHENSION
Comprehension strategies include predicting, visualizing, questioning,
inferences, identifying main ideas, summarizing, and monitoring and revising
comprehension..
VOCABULARY
As students read a variety of inclusive texts, they build and develop a
command on their vocabulary and learn to vary and adapt their sentence
structure, organizational approach, and voice to suit their purpose.
WRITING
Writing competence develops hand in hand with skills in other areas of
language, especially reading. We believe that writing helps students to better
understand their own thoughts and feelings and events in their own lives.
Students are taught how to organize their thoughts, remember important
information, solve problems, reflect on a widening range of perspectives, and
learn how to communicate effectively for specific purposes and audiences.
SPELLING
The students identify and spell words with long and short vowels, vowel
diagraphs, variant vowels, diphthongs, inflections, consonants, words with
VCCV same and different medial consonants, words with VCCCV, VCV patterns,
words with prefixes, suffixes, words with silent letters, words with Greek and
Latin word parts, homophones, and words with prefix + root + suffix.
