Main Topics in Grade 4 English
The first term focuses on Listening and Speaking through Pronunciation and Vocabulary. Students master specific sounds like /t/, /d/, /f/, /v/, and the digraph /tw/, using them in sentences related to family and daily life. In the Writing section, learners explore Narrative Composition, specifically writing short stories of 60-80 words. The curriculum guides them through brainstorming themes, identifying characters, and establishing settings and conflicts. The plans use interactive methods like ‘story improv’ and digital research to build communication confidence and foundational literacy skills.
Assessment and Classroom Management
English is best taught through active interaction; encourage students to use new vocabulary in role-plays and keep a simple weekly writing journal. Use digital devices to demonstrate correct pronunciation and record student recitations. For assessments, follow national guidelines suggesting oral checks, reading fluency tasks, and peer reviews of short narratives. Keeping an organized record of these formative tasks is vital for your professional records and simplifies reporting.
