Description
Grade 4 Reading Textbook – Arc-en-ciel
The Grade 4 Method Presentation
This Grade 4 reading textbook is part of the “Arc-en-ciel” collection.
“Arc-en-ciel” for Grade 4 is an extension of our methods from previous grades. The spirit, content, and pedagogical practices are thus reframed and extended. Our teaching methods emphasize oral expression. The latter is indeed the basis for learning to read and write.
The “Arc-en-ciel” collection for Grade 4 is based on the following methodological principles:
- Priority given to oral expression.
- Short, interesting, and illustrated reading texts: narrative, informative, injunctive, and descriptive texts.
- Illustrative supports in the margin of the texts explain difficult words.
- Linguistic, grammar, general knowledge, and artistic activities ensure effective learning of oral and written French. These activities also stimulate critical thinking and creativity.
- Phonics activities.
The “Arc-en-ciel” collection for Grade 4 is a comprehensive method to learn French. It comprises the following three components: a reading textbook, an expression workbook, and a grammar workbook.
Grade 4 Reading Textbook
This Grade 4 reading textbook of the “Arc-en-ciel” collection is divided into 9 themes and 27 units (3 units per theme).
Every unit provides the following activities:
- One or two pages encourage oral expression.
- One reading text with pictures, and a review of phonemes and graphemes. You will also find phonics, and comprehension questions that encourage expression and critical thinking.
- Another text (injunctive, informative, or documentary) that can be integrated into a project to be carried out, or that helps students better understand our world.
- Songs and poems.
- An initiation to comics and their writing style.
- An initiation to written expression and text typology.
Finally, a QR code is printed on the first page of the textbook. Children can thus listen to:
- Stories (with text, sound effects, and music).
- Role-play activities.
- Phonics.
- Songs and rhymes that can be found in the book.
