10 Minute Grammar

10 Minute Grammar Episode #6: Order of Parts of Speech Series: Adverbs (5)

1) Noun markers/articles: THE
2) Noun: The CAT
3) Adjective: The SNEAKY cat
4) Verb: The sneaky cat CLIMBS.
5) Adverb: The sneaky cat EASILY climbs.
 
Three criteria for order of parts of speech:
(1) Teach to build sentences.
(2) Teach close to something else they are used with (introduce, modify, describe)
(3) Teach away from something that it is confused with (adjectives and adverbs apart)
Adverbs modify/describe a lot of things:
A djectives
V erbs
A dverbs
 
Adverbs answer four primary questions:
HOW: carefully ran
WHEN: later called
WHERE: drove downtown
To WHAT EXTENT: extremely helpful
 
When starting out with adverbs, focus on:
1) Teaching them close to verbs (but not close to adjectives)
2) Looking for/introducing them as LY words the majority of the time
3) Focusing on the question HOW (this will usually be with a verb—the easiest of the three parts of speech they describe and the most common of the three.

10 Minute Grammar #5: Verbs (Parts of Speech Series)

Sentence building so far: The sneaky cat climbs.
Noun marker/Article: The
 
Noun: The Cat
 
Adjective: The sneaky cat
 
Verb: The sneaky cat climbs.
 
With our fourth installment in the Order of Parts of Speech series, we are adding verbs--and ready to start creating sentences!
 
"Phonics is for reading and spelling. Grammar is for writing and speaking" (Donna Reish).
 
The goal of grammar is to use it to write well!
 
First three verbs I start with:
1) Action
2) Being, helping, and linking (check out my beginning Think Fast Grammar Quiz for the Be, a Helper, Link verb song!)
3) Infinitives (a "special verb" that starts with TO and has a verb following it: to run, to jump, to be, to appear)

10 Minute Grammar #2: Articles/Noun Marker Teaching (Parts of Speech Order Series)

Figuring out an effective, logical order for parts of speech is no small feat. I am going to continue helping you with that, along with some introductory teaching tips for each of the ten parts in this Order of Parts of Speech teaching series! Today I introduce the first in my order: articles/noun markers. I tell the theory behind putting them first and putting them right before nouns (hint: they "mark" nouns!). Then I give you my tried and true article/noun marker rhyme, along with advice as to why the typical "a, an, the" order and wording doesn't work most of the time.

10 MG #1: Introducing the Parts of Speech Order Series

Welcome to the first episode of 10 Minute Grammar (10 MG)! In this episode, I introduce the Parts of Speech Order series that I will be doing over the ten parts of speech for the next several weeks. Today's episode covers Parts of Speech Order "Theory." My three criteria for the order are explained: (1) Teach them in an order that aids in sentence building; (2) Put the parts of speech that go with each other close to each other in the learning process; (3) Try not to teach something that is used to modify, describe, or replace a part of speech BEFORE that part of speech is taught. Find the order on my free Parts of Speech Order Poster here. (https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/10-Parts-of-Speech-Order-Poster-Free-8158423)
