Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students use personal pronouns in place of names or nouns. They choose subject pronouns for who acts, object pronouns for who receives an action, and possessive pronouns for ownership.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students choose pronouns that fit the job in a sentence, such as “She reads,” “Read to him,” and “The book is mine.” They use these forms correctly in short conversations and simple writing.
Common Misconceptions: Students may use object pronouns as subjects, such as “Me went home,” or confuse subject and object forms. They may also replace possessive pronouns with contractions, writing “That book is her’s” or “Its mine.”
How to Assess It: Give students three picture prompts and ask them to complete: “___ is running,” “Sam called ___,” and “The backpack is ___.” Check for correct subject, object, and possessive pronouns.
