Every word has a job to do!
In 3rd grade, kids learn that every word in a sentence has a job. Nouns name people, places and things, and kids learn both regular plurals like "cats" and irregular ones like "mice." Verbs show action, and kids use past, present and future tense, including irregular verbs like run, ran, will run. Adjectives describe nouns, adverbs describe verbs, and kids compare with words like "taller" and "tallest." They also use conjunctions like "and," "but" and "because" to build longer sentences. The click moment is when kids can look at any word and figure out its job from the sentence.
Parts of speech make sense when kids see words doing their jobs. These moves get them sorting, acting and playing.
Play a sorting game where kids decide whether a plural just adds -s, adds -es or changes completely, like "child" to "children." The irregular pile always sparks a laugh and a good discussion.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Third graders learn nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions. They also learn irregular plurals, verb tenses and comparative and superlative adjectives.
Teach one part of speech at a time and connect it to its job. Nouns name, verbs act and adjectives describe. Have kids sort words, act out verbs and color-code sentences.
An adjective describes a noun, like "the fast dog." An adverb describes a verb, like "the dog ran quickly." Many adverbs end in -ly.
Play "noun, verb, adjective" in the car: one person names a word and the others call out its part of speech. Or pick a sentence from a favorite book and find every noun.
