Fourth Grade English Lessons

English lessons in the fourth grade focus on spelling, vocabulary, reading comprehension, reading fluency, reading accuracy, and writing. Within the classroom, the children are being immersed in fourth grade English lessons for a large part of the school day, and the concepts learned can be reinforced at home on the computer with the help of fun and educational games. Fourth Grade English lessons are more intense than the primary grades, as the students are learning how to think critically and more in-depth skills are required of them. With reading fiction and non-fiction texts, the fourth grade English lessons contain concepts such as vocabulary acquisition, more difficult words to spell, and more challenging stories to read. The students are taught on their specific reading and writing levels in order for them to show achievement and stay on their instructional level. Fourth Grade English lessons on the computer allow the students to have a great time while learning on their specific level of instruction.

Fourth Grade English Curriculum

By the fourth grade, students have mastered the primary graded concepts in reading. The fourth grade English Curriculum is very abstract, yet everything involved in teaching throughout the year is connected in some way. The fourth grade English Curriculum is made up of a well-rounded reading program, which contains reading a variety of text and stories, writing on a wide-range of topics, and spelling and vocabulary mastery. This curriculum builds on the foundation of what the students have learned in the ever-important primary grades, and a solid foundation is the key to being successful in the fourth grade English curriculum. Reinforcing skills and concepts already mastered is vital in making the students more confident and getting positive results and challenging the higher-level readers keeps the students interested in being the best students they can be. Enhancing the fourth grade English Curriculum with tools, such as fun and interactive educational games focus on specific skill levels for each individual student.

VocabularySpellingCity's spelling lists will help students learn homonyms, homophones (sound-alike words), and homographs and have fun all at the same time! Resources include printable worksheets, videos, online games, and various teaching strategies for Kindergarten through High School. Here you can customize a unique lesson to illustrate homonyms vs homophones vs homographs.

Homonyms, homophones and homographs can bring confusion to even adults and teachers! VocabularySpellingCity can help anyone master these word groups. For clarity, we've brought them all together on one page. It makes it easier to learn the difference among the three types of words using the definitions and homonyms, homophones and homographs examples below.

Homonyms

Homonyms, or multiple meaning words, are words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings. For example, bear.

A bear (the animal) can bear (tolerate) very cold temperatures.

The driver turned left (opposite of right) and left (departed from) the main road.

Homophones, also known as sound-alike words, are words that are pronounced identically although they have different meanings and often have different spellings as well. These words are a very common source of confusion when writing. Common examples of sets of homophones include: to, too, and two; they're and their; bee and be; sun and son; which and witch; and plain and plane. VocabularySpellingCity is a particularly useful tool for learning to correctly use and spell the soundalike words.

The toys are over there on the floor.

The wind gust blew away their papers.

Did they say they're coming to my party?

Homographs

Homographs are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and are often pronounced differently as well. Some examples of homographs are:

bass as in fish vs bass as in music

bow as in arrow vs bow as in bending or taking a bow at the end of a performance

close as in next to vs close as in shut the door

desert as in dry climate vs desert as in leaving alone

Currently, VocabularySpellingCity cannot distinguish between homographs, as we are unable to have two pronounciations for the exact same word. We are looking for possibilities in the future.

Heteronyms

Heteronyms or heterophones have the same spelling, different pronunciations, and different meanings. All heteronyms are homographs, but not all homographs are heteronyms. See why this concept can be so confusing to learn?

Wind: I need to wind the alarm clock so I can fly my kite in the early morning gusty wind.

Record: Please record the program when they try to beat the world record for word nerdiness.

Excuse: Please excuse this poor excuse for art.
