Teacher tip
Read each sentence twice, once with the noun and once with the pronoun, so kids hear that it still makes sense.
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.
- Give a minute at the end to reread the work out loud to a partner.
Watch for
Memorized rules without examples. Have kids say their own example for each one.
Talk about it
- How did you decide which kind of word it was?
- Which sentence on your sheet are you proudest of? Why?
