🌷 Spring (Tier 1) Forward!
LIVE, 90-MIN 4th GRADE SEMINAR + SUPPORT
4th Grade Teachers—It’s Crunch Time.
📉 State tests are coming. Will your students have the literacy skills to tackle longer texts, deeper comprehension, and written responses?
📝 Students need to spell better and write in complete sentences. But grammar and syntax aren’t sticking.
📖 Vocabulary gaps are holding students back. It might seem like the solution is to teach more vocabulary words—but in reality, older students explode in vocabulary growth when they can read well.
The very act of reading well increases vocabulary at an exponential rate. Unknown and unfamiliar words come fast and furiously for students who can already read fluently. That’s why it’s critical for 4th graders to end the year as strong readers.
Every day counts.
We’re doing this seminar for 4th grade teachers who are committed to making every last ELA block count. We can’t get back this year—so let’s make it matter.
You Don’t Need More Test Prep. You Need a Stronger Tier 1.
Fourth grade is where literacy shifts from learning to read to reading to learn—but many students still struggle with decoding, spelling, and writing fluency. The last thing they need is more worksheets or more test-prep drills.
Instead, they need:
✔ Stronger decoding & morphology work – so they can tackle big words in science, social studies, and ELA
✔ Sentence-level instruction – so they can write clear, complete responses
✔ Explicit spelling & grammar routines – so they stop making the same mistakes over and over
✔ Academic vocabulary growth through reading fluency – because reading fuels word knowledge
✔ A structured Tier 1 framework – so no critical skills are left behind
This is exactly what Educate’s 7-Step GRADE 4 Framework© provides.
🌟 Finish Strong. Start Confident. Teach Tier 1 with Clarity.
