Year 4 Word Processors Unit

Working with Word Processors gives Year 4 students a practical pathway from exploring digital writing tools to planning a polished multimodal text. The one-week sequence introduces core word-processing features and shortcut logic, then develops students' ability to edit accurately, format for purpose and audience, and review a draft before publishing.
