Elementary Language Arts Grade 4

Couse description

Through engaging text and interactive lessons, the Elementary Language Arts Grade 4 course expands on students’ foundational reading, writing, grammar, speaking, and listening skills. Throughout the course, students are exposed to the five essential components of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. Students focus on reading to learn as they incorporate more complex text and extensively explore the use of vocabulary in reading and writing. While students explore a variety of topics across content areas, they also study the Bible in more depth. They explore how God’s inspired Word was written by multiple authors from various points of view and in different languages; appreciate the importance of context when reading the Bible; and recognize the placement and purposes of the books of the Bible. Students also examine the meaning of faith and works, study the attributes of God, learn how to share Christ with others, and study the biblical concept of human identity. They learn about the transforming nature of our relationship to Christ and the process of sanctification as they consider Jesus’ role as High Priest as well as His human nature. Throughout the course, students participate in informative, narrative, and opinion-writing compositions.
