Building on Basics of Grammar

Check out this grammar lesson for early learners and kids with learning difficulties!

Yesterday's lesson was about the eight parts of speech and their simple meanings. Today, let's build on that lesson by using each part of speech in a sentence!

You will need some paper and writing utensils. Index cards also work great. Coloring tools are good for the very young; adding color is always a great addition to lessons!

Review yesterday's lesson with your little darlings. Then, write a few examples for each part of speech on a piece of paper or index cards. The cards are nice since you can write one word per card and the part of speech on the back.

Have students come up with sentences using each of the eight parts of speech.

~For very young students, take it one word at a time and write the sentences for them.

~For students who are currently practicing writing in sentences, let them write!

~For students with learning difficulties, do whatever works, you know their level!

Extra challenge: Have your students see how many parts of speech they can fit into one sentence, using the word examples. The sentence has to make sense!

This is a great lesson to do over (and over) with your students.

Go ahead, let your little darlings fall in love with grammar!
