Year 4 English Questions

Reading & Comprehension

Year 4 readers are expected to read with increasing fluency and deeper understanding:

• Reading a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry independently
• Identifying main ideas, themes and authorial choices
• Retrieving and inferring information from texts with textual evidence
• Expanding vocabulary through reading and discussion

Writing

Year 4 writers develop control, range and purpose in their composition:

• Planning and drafting stories, reports, poems and persuasive texts
• Using paragraphs to organise ideas and create cohesion
• Choosing vocabulary deliberately for effect
• Proofreading and improving their own writing

Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling

Secure grammar knowledge builds the technical accuracy needed for writing:

• Using fronted adverbials with commas (Year 4)
• Inverted commas for direct speech; apostrophes for possession
• Expanding noun phrases with modifying adjectives and prepositional phrases
• Spelling patterns, prefixes, suffixes and the statutory word lists
