本文專注美國基督教教育的第三、四年級的人文學科課程列表。
在这里向大家推薦基督教古典式學校（Christian Classical School）的教學課程。學校的教學規劃（curriculum）與使用教材很有參考價值。希望對美國教育、在家教育、課外讀物感興趣的家長有所幫助！我對唯理達基督教古典式學校（Veritas Classical School）的介紹和教學反思可閱讀之前的發文：https://vocus.cc/article/626c4322fd897800018a9edd 。
學年主題
第三、四年級（Grade 3 & 4）的教學以美國歷史、现当代史為主。需要注意的是，我們學校合併兩個年級教學，三年級和四年級的學生一起上課。為避免教學內容的重複，課程分Year A、Year B兩年教學。
文學與詩歌 Literature & Poetry
三、四年級已經開始閱讀易讀的長篇小說。英文小說長度由兩万萬字到四万萬字不等，包括常見的兒童小說和人物傳記等等。每學年要讀六本書。這兩個年級要求學生掌握閱讀章節書（chapter book）的能力。
