Sing the sentence parts
Play a subject and predicate song, then write a silly sentence on the board. Kids underline the subject once and the predicate twice. The song gives them the definitions; the practice right after makes them stick.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
