Year 4 English Worksheets and Workbooks Age 8-9

Academic Success is Yours with our Year 4 Workbooks and Worksheets

In Year 4, kids deepen their reading and writing skills, while continuing to discover new ways to use words. They'll start to make deeper connections in what they read, and become more comfortable with planning and writing their own stories and essays.

Mrs Wordsmith's range of Year 4 worksheets, books, Year 4 workbooks, and games, aligned with the UK National Curriculum and informed by academic research, will help supercharge this time of wordy learning. Some of the resources described on this page are appropriate for other age groups as well, so you may have seen them before.

Spelling features in our collection of Year 4 English worksheets. Spelling is important. Even when it is not explicitly tested, it is still assessed in writing. Start with our Spelling Targeted Practice Year 4 English worksheets printable, which introduces the key spelling patterns that kids need to know for school at this age. Then, move on to our Spelling Mixed Practice worksheets for Year 4 for more revision. These collections of KS2 year 4 worksheets cover an entire year of curriculum. Topics include homophones, tricky spelling patterns, and tricky words. 

Need a break from spelling? Try our Mrs Wordsmith's 37 House Rules printable, a collection of hilariously illustrated, research-backed rules and activities. It’s designed to promote social emotional learning and self-regulation, facilitating family and classroom conversations around behaviour and respect.

You can further expand your child's vocabulary (and spark their creativity!) with our range of Storyteller's books. Research shows that reading by itself is not enough to give kids the vocabulary they need to excel academically – explicit vocabulary instruction leads to better results. It helps kids to become aware of how language works, and how they interact with it. This in turn helps them to infer the meanings of unfamiliar words. Our Storyteller's Illustrated Dictionary is the perfect tool to help kids liven up their writing. This is the dictionary, reimagined- stuffed full of hilarious, outrageous illustrations and over a thousand words. Meanwhile, Storyteller's Word a Day 1 and 2 foster word consciousness, with 180 illustrated words and synonyms, word pairs, story starters, and more.

For more storytelling support, check out our How to Write a Story workbooks for Year 4. A writing product that motivates kids to work independently, How to Write a Story contains everything kids need to know about writing captivating stories. It takes a unique approach to guiding kids through the writing process, using engaging and memorable illustrations to introduce character development and writing devices, story graphs and prompts.

To bring storytelling off the page and into family game night, try our Storyteller's Card Game, a hilarious family game that features 300 words to help kids improve their creative writing and boost their imagination. It’s curated into six key vocabulary themes – character, settings, taste and smell, action, emotion, and weather - chosen for their story-enrichment potential.
