From our teachers' playbook

Every word has a job to do!

What do 4th graders learn about parts of speech?

By 4th grade, kids know their nouns, verbs and adjectives, so now they learn the finer tools. They use relative pronouns like who, whose, which and that to join ideas: "The girl who won the race is my sister." They put adjectives in a natural order, like a small red plastic cup, not "a plastic red small cup." They use progressive verbs like "was running" and helping verbs like can, may and must. The click comes when kids notice their sentences sound more grown-up!

Our favorite ways to teach parts of speech

Fourth graders learn grammar best when they use it in their own writing. These moves make that happen.

Rap the verbs

Play a verb rap and have kids act out each action word. Then challenge them to add a helping verb, like "is running" or "will jump." Music makes grammar feel like a game instead of a rule list.

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

Adjective order lineup

Hand out adjective cards like "big," "old" and "wooden" and have kids line up in the right order before a noun card. The class reads it aloud to check if it sounds right. Kids discover the order by ear.

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Combine with who and which

Give kids two short sentences: "I have a dog. The dog loves bones." Have them join them with a relative pronoun: "I have a dog that loves bones." Building sentences shows why relative pronouns matter.

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.

Questions teachers and parents ask

What parts of speech should a 4th grader know?

Fourth graders should know nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. They also learn relative pronouns, progressive verb tenses and how to order adjectives.

What are relative pronouns?

Relative pronouns like who, whose, whom, which and that connect extra information to a noun. In "The book that I read was funny," the word "that" links the details to "book."

How do you teach parts of speech in a fun way?

Use songs, games and silly sentences. Have kids act out verbs, describe objects with adjectives, and build crazy sentences by picking word cards from each part of speech.

How can I practice parts of speech at home?

Play "word detective" while reading: find a noun, verb and adjective on each page. Or make silly fill-in-the-blank stories and ask for a part of speech for each blank.
