Word nerds in the making
Fourth grade English is where kids start taking words apart and putting sentences together on purpose. They use Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes to figure out new words (tele + phone = far + sound), and they learn idioms, similes and other figurative language. In grammar, they write complete sentences, fix fragments and run-ons, use relative pronouns like who and which, and choose precise adjectives and adverbs. They also learn to spot homophones and commonly confused words. The click moment is when a student meets "transportation" for the first time and works it out alone.
Fourth graders love being word experts. These moves give them the tools and plenty of reasons to show off.
Post one root a day, like "port" (carry). Teams have three minutes to list words with it: transport, portable, export. Then they explain how "carry" fits each one. A game format turns roots into a daily habit instead of a list to memorize.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).
Try it withGreek and Latin Roots GameGamesOpen it →Flash a prefix card and kids call out its meaning and one word that uses it. Keep it to two minutes at the start of class. Quick retrieval every day beats a big vocabulary test on Friday.
Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
Try it withPrefix Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Write two short sentences on the board: "The dog barked. The mail carrier arrived." Think aloud as you join them with because, when or although. Kids then rewrite a choppy paragraph from their own writing the same way.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Fourth graders study vocabulary through Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes, plus figurative language like idioms and similes. Grammar covers complete sentences, relative pronouns, adjectives and adverbs, and commonly confused words. Reading and writing grow longer and more detailed too.
Talk about word parts when you meet a new word: "bio means life, so what might biography mean?" Reading every day is the biggest vocabulary builder of all, and talking about the book helps even more.
They should write complete sentences and fix fragments and run-ons, use correct capitalization and commas, and choose words like who, whose, which and that. They also learn progressive verb tenses, like "I was running."
They're word parts borrowed from ancient languages that show up in thousands of English words. Knowing a few, like "graph" (write) or "spect" (look), helps kids decode big words in science and social studies.
