Press "๐๏ธ Show word" to peek and hear it, then cover it up and write it from memory โ that's how real spellers practise!
Choose the word that correctly completes each Year 4 sentence.
Year 4 introduces more prefixes than un-/dis-/mis-/re-. Add the correct prefix to make a new word.
Year 4 key skill: "the girl's book" (one girl) vs "the girls' books" (more than one girl). Type the correctly punctuated phrase.
Press "๐ Listen" to hear the sentence read aloud, then write what you hear. No adult needed!
When a short word ends in one vowel + one consonant, double the last letter before adding an ending like -ing or -ed. Example: run โ running.
In some words borrowed from French, "ch" makes a "sh" sound instead of the usual "ch" sound. Read the clue and type the word.
Write what the underlined digit is really worth.
Year 4 children learn ALL times tables up to 12ร12. Focus on the trickier ones: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12.
Think of a number line: colder temperatures go below zero.
I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100. Year 4 children learn to read and write these up to 100.
Year 4 introduces reading time using the 24-hour clock, e.g. 15:30 = 3:30pm.
A fronted adverbial starts a sentence and is followed by a comma, e.g. "Later that day, we went home." Add a comma in the right place.
Add describing words to make the noun phrase more interesting.
Remember: speech marks around the words spoken, capital letter to start, punctuation before the closing speech mark.
Choose from: while, although, if, because, so
In your writing, use the standard forms "was/were" and "did", not spoken forms like "we was" or "I done".
Good writers use pronouns (he, she, it, they) instead of repeating the same noun again and again.
The Great Fire of London began in the early hours of 2 September 1666, in a bakery on Pudding Lane. A strong wind quickly spread the flames through the narrow, crowded streets, where most houses were built from wood. The fire burned for four days and destroyed thousands of homes, along with old St Paul's Cathedral. Remarkably, only a handful of people are recorded to have died. Afterwards, the city was rebuilt with wider streets and many more buildings made from brick and stone, to help prevent such a disaster from happening again.
Use the passage above to work out what these words mean.
Mia stood outside the old library, staring at the enormous wooden door. According to her grandmother, a secret room lay hidden somewhere behind the shelves, but nobody had found the entrance in over fifty years. Mia's hands trembled as she pulled a rusty, old-fashioned key from her pocket โ the very key her grandmother had given her that morning, wrapped in a faded velvet cloth. She slid it into the lock. For a moment, nothing happened. Then, with a groan like an old ship's timber, the door creaked open just wide enough for her to slip inside. Dust danced in the thin beam of light from her torch, and somewhere deep within the shadows, she thought she heard the soft, unmistakable sound of turning pages.
