4th Grade Semester English Language Arts Full Curriculum (1x/Week)

We call this class The ‘Fun’ in Fundamental English! In this ongoing class, students will meet twice a week for a thorough language arts curriculum. 


This class covers the foundation of the English language and serves up a rudimentary understanding of tenses, punctuation, and other dos and don’ts on a platter of fun worksheets and games. This class focuses on increasing their vocabulary libraries and analytical skills within literature. Students will train their understanding of the written and oral rules of the English language. Our goal is for students in this class to develop the ability to write and read with purpose.

Suitable for children in grade 4, every week we will be covering the following categories: Literature, Foundational Skills, Reading, Grammar and Writing so that students can easily grasp and retain core principles. This class is sure to keep young learners coming back for more. 

There will be some fun worksheets, discussion, games and lots of visual prompts throughout this interactive class to engage learners!
