Description

Grade 4 readers trace themes with evidence, compare first- and third-person narrators, and learn the elements of poems and plays, while in nonfiction they summarize, compare firsthand and secondhand accounts and evaluate how authors support claims. Writers analyze literature and informational texts, produce research with a simple bibliography, and refine narrative, informative and persuasive writing. Language study adds relative pronouns, progressive tenses, run-ons, Greek and Latin roots and figurative language. Literature includes King Arthur, Robin Hood, Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe, Washington Irving and Jacqueline Woodson's memoir.
