Naming words, doing words, describing words!
First graders meet the building blocks of sentences. Nouns are naming words for people, places and things, and kids learn proper nouns get a capital, like Max and Texas. Verbs are doing words, adjectives are describing words, and pronouns like he, she and they take the place of nouns. They also use joining words like and, but and or, and position words like under and over. The click comes when kids build a sentence like "The big dog runs fast" and can name every word's job!
First graders learn grammar best by sorting, describing and moving. Here's what works for us.
Give kids picture cards and three hoops labeled person, place and thing. They sort each card and say a sentence about it. Physical sorting helps them see what makes a noun a noun.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
