Is that a Verb or a Noun?

Quite often, its difficult to teach the simple parts of sentence structure to a child. Color coding the various parts of the sentence has been proven to make that easier, allowing them to instantly recognize what type of word each part of the sentence actually is, and associating it with other words of the same type.

Teaching these building blocks of vocabulary is an absolute necessity when it comes to helping your students to build their basic sentence skills, and what better way to teach them than a tabletop pocket chart. With more than fifty sentence strips and over 120 sight words that appear frequently, a child will learn rapidly to build their language skills.

The pouch on the back of the chart stores the sentence strips and words easily, helping to teach such simple skills as putting things away at the end of the lesson.
