Books to Teach Parts of Speech

I like to find as many ways as possible to make things fun in school. Teaching some topics can be a little blah, so I love using books to teach parts of speech! The following images can all be clicked on and you can get more info at Amazon, but these are some of my favorites! 

A BOOK THAT ADDRESSES VERBS AND SEL

Julia Cook is known for her books that present SEL topics in a way that students can connect with. This one, It’s Hard to be a Verb, where a child has trouble controlling his body and calming it down. Definitely worth a look!

BRIAN CLEARY

Brian Cleary has been one of my favorite authors of kids’ non-fiction texts! These books have cute, fun pictures, and are engaging due to their fun rhyming sentences. They are great read alouds and easy to incorporate into reading workshop lessons too.

MAD LIBS

My second graders LOVED doing MadLibs! They really cemented their understanding of parts of speech after a few months work on MadLibs as a class. Also there was at some point (hopefully still is ) a free Mad Libs app! Give it a try.
