Understanding Action Verbs | This video highlights the power of the action verb. It reinforces the connection between nouns and verbs in written and spoken language. Emphasis is placed on the importance of action verbs in our daily lives. Supported practice is provided by identifying verbs in sentences by first reinforcing identification of nouns and finding the verbs that affect the nouns by creating the action. The link between comprehension of nouns and verbs in simple sentence structures is reinforced throughout the video by visual imagery coupled with spoken voice.

I’ve created an entire series of teaching videos to explain the components of English Language

Arts in a way that connects them to each other and to real world reading, speaking, and writing. The links for the videos in order are below. Please look for my other videos and share them with others that may find them helpful.
