Subject and verb refresher course

During our Skills Block this week, we have talked about finding the subject and verb (predicate) in a sentence. Any sentence has to have these two parts to be a complete sentence. We spent time looking through the book we studied that day, Saturday and Teacakes. Using reading material students can see and access is the best way to teach them how to use the skills being taught in school.

As they read for the 20 minutes required each night, quiz them! Ask them to find the subject/verb (predicate - rich/delicious vocabulary word) of a sentence. It is extremely important that students are able to find these parts in a sentence as they are expected to write in complete sentences.

Would you like some extra practice? Sure! Here is a great "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" type game they can practice finding the subject/predicate. Enjoy and study for our quiz Friday. :)
