Fit the Task and the Reader is a free printable Grade 4 English worksheet on shaping a piece for its purpose and audience, aligned to Common Core standard W.4.4. It prints 2 questions with an answer key on its own sheet of paper, in 25 versions, 14 of them with different questions, so no two pupils in the class work from the same page.
