01

What Students Need to Do

Students build and expand simple sentences with a noun, verb, and adjective. They use plurals, pronouns, articles, and regular verbs that match the subject and show past, present, or future time. They ask complete questions, adjust wording for the listener, and apply capitals, punctuation, and taught spelling patterns.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student speaks and writes complete statements and questions, using clear nouns or pronouns, verbs, articles, and specific adjectives. Plurals, subject-verb agreement, and regular past, present, and future forms are accurate. Capitals appear at sentence starts, in names, and in I; ending marks and taught spellings are correct, and wording fits the listener.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may write boxs, add s to both words in two dogs runs, or choose a pronoun that does not match the noun. They often mix time words and verb forms, such as yesterday I jump, and confuse a with an. They may capitalize every noun, omit capitals for names or I, use periods for questions, or use casual speech with every listener.

04

How to Assess It

Show a picture of two red dogs that played with a ball yesterday. Ask students to write one statement and one who question, using a plural noun, pronoun, adjective, article, past-tense verb, capitals, and correct ending marks.

1. 01

   Give pairs toy animals and article, adjective, noun, and verb cards; students build sentences and change singular animals to plurals.

2. 02

   Ask partners to request a pencil from a friend and then the principal, comparing the words and tone they change.

3. 03

   Play Tense Toss: students draw a regular verb, catch a beanbag labeled past, present, or future, then say a matching sentence.

4. 04

   Use lost-and-found items; students write descriptions with quantity, size, color, and location, then ask a complete question about ownership.
