This resource is completely aligned with the NEW 2023 Grade 4 Ontario Language Curriculum. Each page is linked to a specific expectation in the Ontario curriculum, which is indicated at the bottom of each page for easy teacher reference.

It is followed by a culminating task that is a "Letter to an Author" workbook that guides them through writing a letter to an author of a book they have read.

Slides: Slides are included to help you introduce each concept to students. Slides also include interactive components where students type or drag-and-drop their answers directly on the slide.
