Language and French language
Children acquire more great autonomy in their language which in the same way becomes less scholarly. Their field of expertise is widening:
To “speak”
- speak in public and ask questions
- participate in the collective analysis of a text
- follow a conversation
- work in groups and share their results
- exhibit a work to the class
- rephrase a text read or heard
- recite texts in prose, verse or theatrical lines
For reading
- understand a short text by reading it silently
- understand a long text and memorize what has been read
- know how to read aloud
- read and understand the teacher’s instructions on your own
- locate key information in a text
- read at least one literary book per month on your own
- know how to consult reference documents (dictionary, encyclopedia, grammar book, table of contents, etc.)
For writing
- quickly copy a text without making a mistake
- write a text of at least 20 lines without spelling mistakes and with good syntax
- use a richer vocabulary
- understand and use conjugation tenses (present, past tense, imperfect, past tense, future, conditional, present subjunctive of regular verbs)
- apply grammar rules (mark chords, make changes in a text, move complements, replace words, etc.)
- participate in writing projects
Literature question
Through this teaching, children discover “classics” and acquire a directory of literary references adapted to their age. Their taste for books will be stimulated to encourage them to read for themselves. They should be able to:
- distinguish a literary story from a historical story or from a fiction
- remember the name of the texts read during the year, as well as their authors
