Teaching tips
- Ask “Can you do it?” to test for a verb, and “Can you see or touch it?” for a noun.
- Some words can be both (a run, to run), so the sort uses words that are usually one or the other.
- Common Core L.K.1.B asks students to use frequently occurring nouns and verbs, and L.3.1.A asks them to explain what nouns and verbs do.
