From our teachers' playbook

Every word has a job!

What do 1st graders learn about grammar?

In 1st grade, kids learn that words have jobs. Nouns name people, places and things. Verbs show action. Adjectives describe, and pronouns like he, she and they stand in for nouns. Kids also start every sentence with a capital letter, capitalize names, and end with a period, question mark or exclamation point. A sentence can be as simple as The big dog runs. The click moment is when kids find the noun and the verb in their own sentences.

Our favorite ways to teach 1st grade grammar

Grammar sticks when kids move, sort and talk. These moves keep it lively.

Rap the verbs

Play a verb rap and have kids do each action as they hear it: jump, clap, spin. Then ask, "What were all those words?" Verbs! Moving to the words makes "action word" mean something.

Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Sort the nouns

Put picture cards on the rug and kids sort them into people, places and things. Then they use one of each in a sentence. Sorting real examples builds the category before the label.

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

Adjective flash

Flash an adjective card and kids find something in the room it describes. "Soft!" Someone points to the rug. A quick daily round builds describing words fast.

Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions parents and teachers ask us

What grammar do 1st graders learn?

First graders learn nouns, verbs, adjectives and pronouns, plus capital letters and end punctuation. They write complete sentences and start using conjunctions like "and" and "but."

How do I explain nouns and verbs to a 1st grader?

A noun is a person, place or thing. A verb is something you can do. Try "Can I touch it?" for nouns and "Can I do it?" for verbs.

What is a complete sentence in 1st grade?

A complete sentence has a naming part (who or what) and a telling part (what they do). It starts with a capital letter and ends with punctuation.

How can I practice grammar at home?

Play quick games: "Name three nouns in the kitchen" or "Act out a verb." Read together and point out capital letters and punctuation.
