Quick Tip
Sometimes a sentence has more than one noun! Look for the person doing the action AND the thing they are using.
Teacher Resources
Teaching Notes

Students often struggle to see 'ideas' or non-physical items as nouns. Start with physical objects in sentences.

Vocabulary
Noun: A word for a person, place, or thing.
Sentence: A group of words expressing a complete thought.
Common Mistakes
  • Circling the verb (action) instead of the noun.
  • Circling adjectives (e.g., 'red' car).
Differentiation
SupportHighlight the verbs first so they know what NOT to circle.
ChallengeHave them underline the noun and circle the verb.
Discussion Questions
  • If I say 'run fast', is there a noun?
  • What is the noun in 'I love school'?
Extension Activities
  • Sentence Building: Give a noun, ask for a sentence.
  • Noun Swap: Replace the noun in the sentence with a silly one.
Parent Tip

Ask your child to find all the 'naming words' in everyday sentences.
