Tricky Word Choices Worksheets for 4th Grade

What your child practices

Tricky Word Choices is a core 4th grade language arts skill (Grade 4 in Canada), and this set gives your child 59 questions over 6 worksheets. Upper elementary writing asks for clear, correct sentences, and practicing Tricky Word Choices on its own helps the skill show up in your child's everyday writing. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to Common Core L.4.1g, which focuses on using grammar correctly in writing and speaking. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 4. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. Short on time? Start with the Tricky Word Choices video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to write two sentences of their own using the skill.
• Ask your child to explain why an answer is right, not just what it is.
• Turn a mistake into a mini lesson: fix it together and write one new example.
