FAQ

How do adjectives and nouns work together in a sentence?

Adjectives come before or after nouns to give more information about them — for example, 'the tall tree' — and 3rd graders practice building and identifying these pairs.

What types of activities help students connect adjectives to nouns?

Activities include matching adjectives to picture clues, completing sentences by choosing the right adjective for a given noun, and creating their own descriptive phrases.

How does the adjective-noun relationship support 3rd grade writing standards?

The Common Core expects 3rd graders to use descriptive language in their writing, and understanding how adjectives modify nouns gives students the tools to write with more detail and precision.
