Kindergarten
Nouns
- Point to and discuss nouns and everyday objects everywhere you go. Remember to emphasize that you can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste nouns. Look around the classroom, grocery store, church, playground, or anywhere else you go to identify the nouns you find in your real life experience.
- When reading picture books, notice that every single picture seen within the book is an example of a noun.
- During show-and-tell emphasize that everything presented is an example of a noun.
I Need a Verb (Action Verbs)
- Whenever you are doing something inside or outside, emphasize the verb or action you are performing. “We jump! Jump is something that you do. It's called a verb.”
- When reading in picture books, point out the actions of the characters as examples of verbs.
