Grade 4 – Unit 3

The Wild Robot

The Wild Robot Releasing Writers-inspired unit connects Grade 4 writing with a popular read-aloud for the Junior grades. This unit is designed to be used alongside the novel, The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, supporting meaningful connections between reading and writing. Students also practise sentence-combining using because, but, and so, making it curriculum-aligned and classroom-ready.
