準備好閱讀了！ 4 級持續英語和語言藝術技能（適合 9-11 歲）

This ongoing class will review reading and language skills based on 4th grade common core standards. This class is open for advanced 3rd graders as well as upcoming 5th graders. The students will be able to think independently, then share their answers with their peers as the teacher facilitates discussion and deepens learning through guided questions. Each week is independent from the other and will focus on its own standards. 

Each week, we will focus on reading a passage and answer comprehension questions based on a specific reading skill. The reading passages will include fiction and nonfiction texts and the skills include, but are not limited to: fluency, explicit details, making inferences, context clues, main idea & supporting details, summarizing, theme, elements of fiction, point of view, text structure (chronological order, compare/contrast, cause/effect, problem/solution), elements of poetry, elements of drama/play, text features, and paired passages. 

We will also focus on specific language skills. The language skills include, but are not limited to: spelling, vocabulary, relative pronouns, relative adverbs, progressive verb tense, auxiliary verbs, prepositional phrases, punctuation (commas, quotation marks, etc.), compound sentences, root words, affixes, figurative language (similes, metaphors, idioms), and synonyms/antonyms
