A Fun Way to Teach Parts of Speech

Just a  few weeks ago I started teaching parts of speech to my learner. At first, it was extremely difficult because I wasn't sure how to get her to connect what I was teaching to the words she reads, but then I remembered this goofy looking set of books we had in our tutoring center. They turned out to be a fantastic resource.

The Words are CATegorical book set by Brian P. Cleary is a great way to teach parts of speech becuase they use rhymes and silly illustrations to rienforce their concepts. The books are fun to read and easy to pay attention to, so your learner will have no problem listening. You can purchase the books online at Really Good Stuff.

For more great ways to teach parts of speech, check out websites like Teachnology and ABC Teach. You can also use online games like this snake-themed game on 4Kids. If you want to keep it simple, games like Simon Says seem to do the trick. Remember, keeping your lessons fun will make learning more enjoyable!
