Grade 4 English practice — nouns and pronouns, tenses, adjectives, punctuation, comprehension and vocabulary.

Grade 4 English is the year the sentence becomes the unit of work. A child moves from recognising a noun to making a whole sentence agree with it — the verb, the article, the punctuation that ends it — and a mistake in any one of those makes the sentence wrong.
Reading widens at the same time. Comprehension questions start asking what a passage means rather than what it says, and vocabulary is taught through word study rather than lists, so a child can work out an unfamiliar word instead of having to have met it before.

How it is practised
Passages and text types are practised as whole passages, because a comprehension question cannot be shortened to one sentence without becoming a different question.
All four multiple-choice options are kept to the same grammatical shape and length, so the answer cannot be spotted by looking for the longest one.
Read-aloud speaks the question and each lettered option with the one being read highlighted — at this grade the reading is often the obstacle, not the grammar.
