Here is what you need to know about the first half of the year and how to support your 4th-grade student. What Makes This Textbook Different?

The curriculum deepens the study of nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs, focusing on their grammatical features.

Students move beyond simple sentences to explore complex sentences and the proper use of commas with conjunctions like и, а, но .

A significant portion of the first part is dedicated to understanding how to write and punctuate sentences with direct speech.

Since complex sentences and direct speech are new "heavy hitters" this year, pay extra attention to comma placement during homework.

Grade 4 is a "bridge" year. By mastering the concepts in Part 1 of the Buneev, Buneeva, and Pronina textbook, students build the analytical skills necessary for the more rigorous linguistic studies they will face in the 5th grade.
