Nouns · Learn the idea
Nouns
A noun names a person, place, animal, thing or idea.
Some nouns name things you can see or touch. Others name ideas or feelings, such as kindness or joy.
The teacher smiled.
Teacher is a noun. It names a person.
A rabbit hid in the garden.
Rabbit names an animal. Garden names a place. Both are nouns.
Kindness matters.
Kindness is a noun too. It names an idea, even though we cannot hold it.
Remember: Ask: does this word name someone, somewhere, something or an idea?
Grown-up guide
Accept spoken sentences or adult scribing. Ask what each noun names; spotting a word by its position alone is not enough.
Allow about 10 minutes, with breaks as needed. Listen to the explanation and look at the child’s own sentences. Correct choices alone do not show mastery. Writing is reviewed together, not automatically marked.
