Reading comprehension, writing, spelling, and grammar and punctuation: four Year 4 English lessons built as editable slide decks, each with a complete teaching sequence. Model texts and worked examples come first, followed by guided and independent practice your class can respond to on whiteboards or in books.

The lessons target the Years 3 and 4 objectives of the KS2 English programme of study in the England National Curriculum: asking questions to improve understanding of a text, proof-reading for spelling and punctuation errors, spelling further homophones, and choosing nouns or pronouns for clarity and cohesion. By Year 4 pupils are consolidating these skills, so the decks emphasise application in real reading and writing.

Edit any deck in Chalkie to fit your current topic or class novel: regenerate the model text, adjust the sentence examples, or re-pitch an activity. It keeps your Year 4 English lessons consistent and curriculum-aligned while cutting planning to minutes.
