English in Grade 4
By the end of Grade 4 most curricula expect children to know their times tables up to 10× or 12×. These games make that practice quick and competitive, with streaks and points to beat.
- Read the words aloud together. Hearing and saying words strengthens memory.
- Use new vocabulary from the games in everyday conversation.
- For spelling, encourage “look, say, cover, write, check” away from the screen too.
- Praise effort and strategies (“you sounded it out!”), not just correct answers.
