4th Grade Language Arts Online-Full Year

English Language Arts 4 provides a well-balanced approach to literacy that connects reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling into one integrated program. Dedicated time for keyboarding practice is also included. The course is made up of 14 units. Each unit focuses heavily on reading, interpreting, and responding to a variety of texts and genres. Students are provided with “words to know” prior to reading selections to enhance their vocabulary. The course also focuses on a variety of types of writing, including narrative, opinion, and informational. Grammar, usage, and mechanics are taught throughout each of lessons to help students strengthen these skills and apply them to their written work. Students also learn to focus on spelling patterns that are necessary to be fluent, proficient readers, writers, and spellers.
