Teacher tip
Say “Today I run. Yesterday I…” and let kids shout the past tense before the sheet.
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.
- Read the directions aloud so the sheet is about writing, not decoding the directions.
Watch for
Memorized rules without examples. Have kids say their own example for each one.
Talk about it
- Can a word be a noun in one sentence and a verb in another?
- Where else do writers use this skill?
Take it further
Have kids hunt for the part of speech in a library book and list five.
