What’s the difference between a noun, verb, adverb, and adjective? Step up to this study tool to help you remember!

With Crayola® Anti-Dust Chalk, create an attributes chart to show the parts of speech your class is studying. For example, label four rows<EM> noun, verb, adverb, adjective</EM>. Label two columns <EM>what it is</EM> and <EM>examples</EM>. Work together as a class to define each part of speech and generate some word examples.

Make your own Parts of Speech Staircase by folding the top of one sheet of construction paper over about 1/4 of the way. Crease. Fold a second sheet so the top edge reaches down about 5/6 of the way. Crease. Place the second sheet inside the first. Glue along the folds with a Crayola Glue Stick.

Use Crayola Fine Line Markers to write the name of one part of speech on each flap in large letters. Write some word examples around each part of speech.

On the back of each flap write the definition and draw a picture to remind yourself of what that part of speech does. For example, draw some people, places, and things on the back of the <EM>noun </EM>flap. Draw figures in action on the back of the <EM>verb</EM> flap. Write descriptive words with pictures that demonstrate the traits on the backs of the <EM>adjective</EM> and <EM>adverb</EM> flaps.
