What Year 4 English students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 4 English standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They write texts using clearly formed letters with developing fluency.
- They read fluently and accurately, integrating phonic, morphemic, grammatical and punctuation knowledge.
- They use text structures to organise and link ideas.
- They create written and/or multimodal texts including stories for purposes and audiences, where they develop ideas using details from learnt topics, topics of interest or texts.
- They spell words including multisyllabic and multimorphemic words with irregular spelling patterns, using phonic, morphemic and grammatical knowledge.
- They describe how ideas are developed including through characters and events, and how texts reflect contexts.
The Literature progression either side of AC9E4LE05
