Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns so we don't repeat the same name over and over. Second graders learn personal pronouns like he, she, it, they, we and possessive pronouns like his, her, their. A big 2nd grade skill is reflexive pronouns: I made it myself. They cleaned up by themselves. Kids practice replacing nouns with the right pronoun and making sure it matches. The click moment is when a student rereads "Max said Max lost Max's hat" and laughs at how silly it sounds without pronouns.
Our favorite ways to teach pronouns
Pronouns make writing smoother. These moves help kids pick the right one every time.
Swap the name
Write a sentence that repeats a name three times. Read it out loud with a silly voice, then cross out the repeated names and replace them with pronouns. Kids practice the same swap on the worksheet.
Why it works: handing over the work step by step, from teacher to student, is one of the most widely used teaching frameworks (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
Give sentences with two pronoun choices, like "(He/Him) ran fast." Kids choose, then read the sentence aloud to check if it sounds right. Ears are great grammar checkers!
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).
Reflexive pronouns are new in 2nd grade. Mix singular and plural examples, like myself, himself, ourselves and themselves, so kids notice the -self versus -selves pattern.
Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).
Pronouns are words that replace nouns, like he, she, it, they, we and you. Second graders also learn possessive pronouns like his and their, and reflexive pronouns like myself and themselves.
What is a reflexive pronoun?
A reflexive pronoun ends in -self or -selves and refers back to the subject, like "She drew it herself." Kids learn them in 2nd grade.
Why do kids say "him and me went"?
It's common in everyday speech. Teach them to try each part alone: "Him went?" sounds wrong, but "He went" sounds right, so it's "He and I went."
How can I practice pronouns at home?
Tell a story about a family member and have your child replace the names with pronouns. Make it silly by repeating names until they jump in.
