About the course
The course for grade 4 students is designed to engage students in meaningful interactions with a wide variety of texts. Students need to be able to sustain their interest in and make meaning from longer texts, such as longer picture books and chapter books that include chapter titles, a few illustrations, somewhat more sophisticated plots, and multiple characters and events. They consciously use the knowledge, skills, and strategies from one strand to support their learning in the other three strands.
