Teacher tip

Teach the cover trick: cover the other person’s name and see if I or me sounds right on its own.

How to use it

  • Color-code parts of speech (nouns blue, verbs red) across the unit.
  • Have kids test each answer by saying the word in a sentence.
  • Model the first answer on the board, thinking out loud as you write.

Watch for
