The grade 4 reading curriculum has only 75 lessons instead of 150 as the previous grades do. Each lesson may be done in two parts, as indicated in the teacher's manual and the workbooks, taking two days per lesson.

Reader
One hardbound reader contains all 75 lessons, divided into three units. Unit 1 is "The Gospel of John." Unit 2 is "The Book of Acts" with an emphasis on map work and following the travels of the apostle Paul. Unit 3 is "Job, Psalms, and Proverbs." The Psalms lessons are in poetry form. The Proverbs lessons each have a present-day or historical story to illustrate the proverb of that lesson. At the back of the reader is a glossary of significant words, along with a pronunciation guide, which will help with learning to pronounce Bible names.

Workbooks
There is a separate workbook for each unit of the reader. Exercises develop vocabulary and comprehension skills, and they may be divided to provide activity for two days on one lesson. Each workbook ends with a unit test.

Teacher's Manual
Detailed instructions for the benefit of new teachers. Guidelines are given to help develop good oral reading, and discussion questions are suggested for comprehension development. Occasional oral quizzes and a full answer key to the workbooks are provided.
