Teaching the 8 Parts of Speech
I recently came across a product that I was really eager to check out. Since I love to read and so do my kids I was curious to see what the books in the Scholastic Parts-of-Speech Tales were like. One of the books included in this collection is The Princess and the Pronouns. I really wanted to see this collection and find out more about it.
I was thrilled when I was able to view it through an interlibrary loan. Actually, I am still amazed that they were able to get it for me. My rating for this product would be 4 stars out of 5. It is not as great as I had hoped, but it was very nice. The set includes 8 storybooks, one for each part of speech and a Teaching Guide. The big perk with the teaching guide is that there are smaller versions of the stories that you are meant to photocopy and use with your student. Even better, and actually my 4 year old's favorite part are the reproducible worksheets and game pages. She was quite excited to do crossword puzzles and word searches that are centered around the parts of speech. How can I not like what she is excited about?
We are using this along with First Language Lessons. As we review and learn new parts of speech, we have been using the Parts-of-Speech Tales to reinforce what we have learned. My 7 year old already knows the parts of speech, but he has enjoyed reviewing along with his little sister. What kid doesn't like games, right?
