What to expect in 4th grade

The year independence takes root.

Fourth grade marks a shift from guided learning to growing independence. Content gets substantially harder: longer reading passages, multi-paragraph writing, multi-digit multiplication, and deeper science and social studies concepts. Students who had the basics down are now applying them to genuinely challenging material. This is also the year where many students in traditional schools start to disengage. At Score Academy, your child is actively participating in every lesson, getting called on, getting feedback, and building the academic confidence that carries into middle school.
