From our teachers' playbook

Every word has a job

What do kids learn about parts of speech?

Every word in a sentence has a job, and the parts of speech are the names for those jobs. Kids start in kindergarten and 1st grade with nouns (people, places and things) and verbs (action words), then add adjectives that describe. By 2nd and 3rd grade they use pronouns, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions, plus irregular plurals and verb tenses. The big idea: The happy dog ran quickly. Adjective, noun, verb, adverb! Once kids can name each job, their writing gets more detailed and their grammar gets cleaner.

Our favorite ways to teach parts of speech

Parts of speech stick when kids use them, not just label them. These are the moves we lean on.

Sort the jobs

Give kids a mixed list of nouns, verbs and adjectives and have them sort each word by its job. Then trick them: use run as a noun (a fun run) and as a verb. The mix teaches that a word's job depends on how it's used.

Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Talk through verb tenses

Write one sentence on the board and change its tense out loud: "Today I walk, yesterday I walked, tomorrow I will walk." Point out the clue words. Then let kids rewrite a sentence of their own three ways.

Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Preposition quick game

Prepositions are easiest to learn with your body. Play a quick round where kids put a pencil on, under, beside or behind a book, then follow up with the game. A few minutes a day and those little words make sense.

Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Parts of speech questions we hear a lot

What are the 8 parts of speech?

The eight parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections. Elementary kids learn them a few at a time, starting with nouns and verbs.

What parts of speech should a 2nd grader know?

Second graders work with nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, along with irregular plurals, past-tense verbs and pronouns. They use these to write and expand complete sentences.

How do I explain a noun to a child?

A noun is a person, place, thing or animal. Point around the room and name nouns together: teacher, classroom, book, fish. If you can touch it or picture it, it's probably a noun.

What's the difference between an adjective and an adverb?

An adjective describes a noun, like the tall tree. An adverb describes a verb, telling how, when or where, like she ran quickly. Many adverbs end in -ly, which is a handy clue.

Are these parts of speech worksheets printable?

Yes! Every worksheet here prints as a PDF, and many come with matching activities, songs, videos and games.
