British Columbia - Reading Comprehension Skills Grade 4

This comprehensive reading and writing resource is designed to help students build strong comprehension skills through a structured, skills-based approach. It focuses on developing the essential abilities students need to understand, analyze, and respond to a wide range of texts with confidence. The resource is organized around five core reading comprehension skill areas: identifying and interpreting ideas and details, understanding text organization, associating meaning, making connections, and evaluating texts. These skills are taught through clear explanations, guided lessons, and targeted practice activities that support both comprehension and written expression. Students begin with an initial assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement, followed by focused instruction and practice. Each section includes examples, writing exercises, and practice questions with detailed explanations to reinforce learning and build independence. A final assessment allows students to measure their progress and growth over time. This resource also supports the connection between reading and writing by encouraging students to apply comprehension strategies in their own writing. By strengthening both skills together, students become more effective communicators and critical thinkers. Ideal for classroom use, independent learning, or additional practice at home, this resource provides a clear pathway to improving reading comprehension, building confidence, and fostering a deeper understanding of texts across subjects.
