Fourth-grade students learn additional strategies to effectively express themselves in both written and spoken language. Listening is also an important skill that students work on. Students participate in individual and group oral reports and presentations in different curricular areas. They continue to learn and practice strategies to differentiate fact and opinion, the author's viewpoint, making inferences, predicting outcomes, and summarizing.

Vocabulary development includes using context clues, word analysis, multiple-meaning words, and word analogies. Students expand their personal vocabularies through a variety of reading, writing, and listening activities. Children become more competent in understanding structure in both fiction and nonfiction text. Through the use of a variety of writing activities, students are given ample opportunities to draft, revise, proofread, and create final copies.
