What children learn in Level 51
- Welcome to Word Workshop! Let's look at the jobs words do.
- Naming words name a person, an animal, a place, or a thing. Girl, dog, park, and ball are naming words.
- Action words tell what someone does. Run, jump, and sing are action words.
- A sentence needs both: who, and what they do. The dog runs.
- Try it with a grown-up! Play charades: act out an action word, and your grown-up guesses it.
