Building Blocks of 4th Grade Reading & Writing
Grade 4
The school year moves quickly, with so many skills to cover and even more opportunities for learning gaps to emerge. But reading and writing are building block subjects: not only are advanced skills built atop fundamentals, but a student’s ability to read and write is essential for their success in other classes, too. It is therefore critical for students to address and fill reading learning gaps quickly and to continually strengthen these foundations for future learning.
That’s why Building Blocks of 4th Grade Reading & Writing meets weekly to give learners the instruction and repetition they need to master building block skills permanently. Each week, an expert instructor will lead students through engaging demonstrations and exercises designed to fill in learning gaps and solidify understanding of the 4th grade literacy skills–such as using context clues to get “unstuck” while reading, reading for the main idea of a text, and writing conclusions and clear event sequences–most essential for success the rest of the school year and beyond.
