No Print Concepts Standard for grade 4.

Kentucky Academic Standards for Reading and Writing (2025) · Print Concepts

Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: There is no grade 4 print concepts skill to teach under this entry. Plan whole-class lessons around an applicable grade 4 reading skill, and check how a student follows print only if you notice a problem.
What Mastery Looks Like: There is no grade 4 mastery target here. A student who needs earlier support can show where to start on a page and follow the text in order.
Common Misconceptions: Some students read a caption as part of the main paragraph. Others jump across two columns instead of reading down the first column.
How to Assess It: If a student seems unsure, give them a two-column article and ask, "Point to where you would start, then trace the order you would read."

Lesson moves

Give a student a printed two-column article and have them trace the reading path with a highlighter.
Show a page with a title, caption, and body text; ask, "Which part would you read first, and why?"
Give students sentence strips from a short paragraph and ask them to put the strips in reading order.
Give students a bus timetable and ask them to find the row and column for a specific departure time.
