Parts of Speech for Beginners: Pronouns

Before little ones even know what a ‘part of speech’ is, they are using pronouns.  And no doubt, correct usage comes with correct modeling.  New English speakers, ESLs, are also developing pronoun skills.

Right along with color words, these teeny-tiny words are some of the first that little ones learn to read.  Why not make it fun!

 

  Pronoun Practice

 

is a FREE and fun set of activities to practice 12 of these small little words.

 

There are 3 pages in color to use in small group or center activity.

 

And there are 3 pages in black and white for independent practice.

 

12 flash cards are included to duplicate and give to each child.

 

 

Have your little ones circle the correct pronoun or cut apart the pictures and use clothespins to make clip cards. 

Go a step further and use the cards for oral language by making sentences about the picture using correct pronouns.

Making Connections

There they are…..sweet little attentive listeners.  You are talking about something that is happening in the story and you ask a question.  So many hands go up.  You pick an eager hand-raiser. And that sweet little attentive listener gives you the most off-topic, random comment that you can imagine. 

Did that little one make a text-to-self connection? 

In my opinion, the reading strategy of ‘Making Connections’ needs to be taught. True connections are not the same as random thoughts that pop into our heads.  I have created a simple set of pictured task cards to intentionally model and ‘think-aloud’ the process of making a true connection.

Writing pages are included for those students who are ready to write down their connections.  Take a look at the complete product here.

Do you have any special ways to teach our little ones how to make connections with the story?
