Do Your Kiddos Know Their Parts of Speech?

Every year I am amazed at how many of my students do not know what a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb is.  I know when I was in school this stuff was pounded into our heads. I also remember taking sentences apart and diagramming them, labeling each part.  It sometimes seems that we are so caught up with "higher order thinking" that we forget the basics.

I know memorization and recognition might be on the bottom of the Blooms Taxonomy Scale, but we as educators cannot ignore the importance of these basic components of a sentence. I also know that it seems like we have so much to teach and so little time.

A suggestion.... quiz your students on Parts of Speech whenever you have a few minutes such as lining up for lunch or recess, or before leaving for the day.  Kids often see this as a "game" and don't even know they are learning.

And to assist you, I have created a set of Parts of Speech Posters that you can put up in your room.  One teacher said that she copied several to a page and had her students glue them in their writing journals in the Word Work section.

Click on the picture below to get your free copy from my TpT store: A Series of 3rd Grade Events. Please leave feedback if you feel these posters are helpful.

You can pick up even more great BTS freebies by entering the blog hop at The Teaching Tribune. A $25 GC and a tablet are still up for grabs in the prize category as well!!
