01Grade 4 English Language Arts: Reading Closely and Writing Clearly
Grade 4 ELA questions ask you to read a short passage and then show that you understand it, can find evidence in it, and can use language conventions correctly. The main concepts are main idea and supporting details, summarizing, character and setting, comparing two texts on the same topic, and figuring out what words mean from context. On the writing side, expect questions about complete sentences, verb tense, subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, capitalization, commas, quotation marks, and choosing the best word. First, a detail question may offer an answer that is true in real life but not stated in the passage - always go back to the text.

You need to compare fractions, recognize equivalent fractions, add and subtract fractions with like denominators, and multiply a fraction by a whole number. Expect area and perimeter, angle measurement in degrees, line symmetry, unit conversion within one system (for example, hours to minutes), and multi-step word problems.
