While talking may come instinctively for children, most children do not have a natural desire to write. Training in the proper use of the English language is essential during the grammar stage. Two of LPL’s main goals for fourth grade English are: to teach students about writing through various exercises based on classical works (writing) and to gently reinforce parts of speech through oral and written lessons (English grammar).

LPL’s Fourth Grade English Lesson Plans cover English grammar and writing using the thorough and age-appropriate books: The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease Workbook, Level 4, First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 4 Instructor Guide, and First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 4 Student Workbook by Susan Wise Bauer.

In these wonderful resources, your child will have an enjoyable time memorizing poetry, learning grammar concepts, creating narrations, answering comprehension questions, studying usage, and penning copywork, among other activities.

The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease Workbook, Level 4 lays the foundation for writing through narration, dictation, and poetry exercises taken from beloved excerpts of classical literature. These lessons will equip and train young students in writing. This text comes complete with easy-to-follow teacher instructions and a thorough explanation of the philosophy behind the book.

Additionally, writing skills are taught using memory work, copywork, dictation, narration, and sentence diagramming. This detailed curriculum will greatly enhance your student’s language skills.
