A four-part, 60-day English Language Arts learning path aligned with the Alberta Grade 4 English Language Arts and Literature Program of Studies as implemented in Calgary Board of Education classrooms. Students develop integrated skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, representing, and critical thinking through increasingly complex texts and authentic communication tasks.

Over approximately 15 days, students develop strategies for understanding and responding to fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and oral texts. They activate prior knowledge, make predictions and connections, identify main ideas and supporting details, sequence events, infer character feelings and author meaning, and distinguish fact from opinion. Students practise active listening, respectful discussion, vocabulary development, fluency, and comprehension monitoring. Learning emphasizes selecting appropriate strategies before, during, and after reading or listening, and using evidence from a text to explain thinking. Students complete a personal reading-response portfolio that demonstrates increasingly specific and text-supported responses.
