Overview

The Year 4 English program covers all the components of the Australian Curriculum and is also aligned with specific state-based syllabus requirements. Students focus on the essential English skills of reading, listening and comprehension, critical and evaluative thinking, and creating texts for different audiences and purposes - persuasive, creative and informative. This program integrates grammar and language skills that are designed to develop each student’s vocabulary, verbal fluency and understanding of language. Because the study of English incorporates knowledge and appreciation of texts as well as literacy and language skills, the Year 4 program is built upon a range of engaging texts, grouped by theme and written by a diverse group of authors, including: children’s novels, informative texts, poetry, graphic novels, visual, digital and multimodal texts.

Topics & Concepts We Cover

The Year 4 English program will cover the following Topics and Concepts.

  • Creative and Informative Writing

    1. We give students practical building blocks to help them create compelling creative pieces that will satisfy syllabus requirements.

  • Persuasive Writing

    1. Persuasive writing is a skill for life. We teach students the fundamentals of persuasive texts, how to evaluate language and imagery, and how to begin using language to persuade others.

  • Grammar and Language Conventions

    1. We integrate the direct teaching of grammar and language conventions into the program to help students internalise and apply the rules.

  • Critical and Evaluative Thinking

    1. The analysis of texts is at the heart of the English curriculum. We show students how to interpret and evaluate texts and how to communicate their ideas. Students will encounter a range of texts of all types and formats.

  • Reading and Comprehension Strategies

    1. We embed reading and comprehension strategies throughout the program. We teach students practical techniques that will allow them to understand the meaning created in texts – from the literal to the inferential – and how to apply their existing knowledge to the texts they read.

  • Purpose and Audience

    1. Studying English is about acquiring both skills and knowledge. It can also be engaging and a source of entertainment and joy. The texts that students study have been selected for the ideas that they contain as well as for the way they appeal to the tastes and interests of their readers.
