Year 4 Word List

Press "๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Show word" to peek and hear it, then cover it up and write it from memory โ€” that's how real spellers practise!

Progress:

Homophones & Near-Homophones

Choose the word that correctly completes each Year 4 sentence.

Prefixes (in-, il-, im-, ir-, sub-, super-, anti-, auto-)

Year 4 introduces more prefixes than un-/dis-/mis-/re-. Add the correct prefix to make a new word.

Suffixes (-ation, -ly, -ous, -ture, -sure)

Possessive Apostrophes (singular & plural)

Year 4 key skill: "the girl's book" (one girl) vs "the girls' books" (more than one girl). Type the correctly punctuated phrase.

Plurals (Year 4 patterns)

Spelling Dictation

Press "๐Ÿ”Š Listen" to hear the sentence read aloud, then write what you hear. No adult needed!

Doubling the Final Consonant

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.

Tricky 'ch' Words (sounds like "sh")

In some words borrowed from French, "ch" makes a "sh" sound instead of the usual "ch" sound. Read the clue and type the word.

Place Value โ€” numbers to 10,000

Write what the underlined digit is really worth.

Times Tables (1โ€“12) โ€” get ready for the Year 4 check!

Year 4 children learn ALL times tables up to 12ร—12. Focus on the trickier ones: 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12.

Multiplication & Division (formal methods)

Fractions & Decimals

Negative Numbers

Think of a number line: colder temperatures go below zero.

Roman Numerals (to 100)

I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100. Year 4 children learn to read and write these up to 100.

Area & Perimeter

Money & Time (including the 24-hour clock)

Year 4 introduces reading time using the 24-hour clock, e.g. 15:30 = 3:30pm.

Word Problems

Fronted Adverbials

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.

Apostrophes for Contraction & Possession

Expanded Noun Phrases

Add describing words to make the noun phrase more interesting.

Direct Speech Punctuation

Remember: speech marks around the words spoken, capital letter to start, punctuation before the closing speech mark.

Conjunctions

Choose from: while, although, if, because, so

Word Sort: Noun, Adjective, Verb, or Adverb?

Standard English

In your writing, use the standard forms "was/were" and "did", not spoken forms like "we was" or "I done".

Pronouns for Cohesion

Good writers use pronouns (he, she, it, they) instead of repeating the same noun again and again.

Reading Comprehension

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.

Vocabulary in Context

Use the passage above to work out what these words mean.

True or False?

Fiction Story: The Secret Room

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.
