How to teach parts of speech in a fun and engaging way? Start with interactive lesson visuals! In this post I’ll share several parts of speech PowerPoints make teaching grammar both easy and fun. Take a look at these easy to use lesson slides and think about how you can use them in your lessons!
Parts of Speech PowerPoints
The more activities to teach parts of speech, you have in your teacher toolkit the better. Students need a variety of ways to practice grammar skills.
15-Minute Mini-lessons
At the beginning of each week of grammar lessons, I introduce a new part of speech in a brief and direct mini-lesson. In this mini-lesson, I model the skill we are focusing on for the week.
I use the lesson slides in the PowerPoints to introduce the grammar skill and provide examples. These guide students through the mini-lesson by providing examples and show how the target part of speech is used in context.
Short, targeted mini-lessons easily fit into your schedule and are most beneficial to young students when they are direct and clear. Students can fully focus on one specific skill, see examples, generate their own examples and then practice independently in writing or or with the game slides.
Interactive Slides Make Practicing Fun
Interactive slides allow students to truly participate and are an essential component to my parts of speech PowerPoints. The interactive practice slides have moveable parts that can be manipulated by students for practice or used by teachers to model the lesson.
Include Partner Work
Partner work is important and helpful in the elementary classroom. It keeps students engaged and accountable and allows them to teach and learn from one another. Explaining to a partner what they’ve just learned reinforces their understanding and helps to build oral language and social skills.
Each parts of speech PowerPoint includes opportunities for students to work with a partner using the turn-and-talk and partner practice activities.
