COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY NURSERY 2 SECOND TERM

LESSON 1:  REVISION PRACTICE ON PRONOUN

The last topic treated in the first term scheme of work is Pronouns. Start the term by refreshing the children’s minds on what was learnt last tern on pronoun. Ask them the meaning of pronoun and how to use pronouns. When that is achieved, you continue with the next topic on pronouns. Refer to the first term scheme for guide.

 

LESSON 2:  CHANGING NOUNS TO PRONOUNS

This lesson is a practical exercise to test the children’s understanding of the function of pronouns in a sentence.  You will have to engage the children on different class activities to enhance their understanding.

Write out some pronouns on a colour paper and stick on one side of the board.

Write a sentence on the board with a noun and ask the children to choose the right pronoun from the colour paper that can replace the noun in the sentence. 

Carefully read each sentence to the children. Underline the nouns you want them to change and read it loud to them. Ask them to choose the right pronoun to replace it. When they do that, they should say the sentence using the pronouns chosen.

Example: 

John is not in school.

(let a child choose the right pronoun to replace with ‘John’.

He is not in school.

The cup has fallen It has fallen.

Do several examples with the children and then give them home work.

LESSON 3: VERBS

This is another grammar lesson that is aimed at enhancing the children’s understanding of the different parts of speech. 

Explain to the children that verbs are action words. When they see or hear a word that means an action, such a word is a verb.

Explain to them that whenever they hear the word ‘verb’ it means an action has to be performed. Let them also know that every sentence must have a verb for it to be complete. 

PROMPTING QUESTION:        What is a verb?

RESPONSE:                                    A verb is an action word or a doing word. 

Every sentence must have a verb.

LESSON 4: SPOT THE ACTION WORDS

 COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY NURSERY 2 SECOND TERM

Write some sentences on the board. Read them to the children and stress the verbs. Do this several times stressing the verbs.

FUN ACTIVITIES ON VERBS:

This activity will make the children to be active while spotting verbs in a sentence.

Write another set of sentences on the board.

Instruct the children to perform any action they hear while you read each sentence.

Sentence 1: Peter clapped his hands (let the children clap immediately they hear clapped)

Ask them, so what is the verb or action word in that sentence?

Sentence 2: the girl jumps over the fence ( they should jump) Ask them again to spot the verb in the sentence.

By the time you engage them in such exercise several time, they will begin to equate actions with verbs. 

 

TAKE HOME PRACTICAL QUESTION:

You will mention 10 verbs in class tomorrow. The verbs must be the things you did at home all through the day.

LESSON 5: SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUNS

EXPLANATION: Nouns can take several forms. Two of such forms are singular and plural.  A singular noun names only one person, place, thing or idea.  A plural noun names two or more people, places, things or ideas.

 PROMPTING QUESTION:                     What is singular and plural noun?

 RESPONSE:                                    Singular is when something is only one. 

Plural is when something is two or more.

 LESSON 6:  HOW TO FORM PLURALS

There are several ways of making a singular noun to become a plural noun. The easiest way of doing that is by adding ‘s’ but not all plural nouns are formed that way. 

At this class, there is no point mentioning regular and irregular nouns to the children. We will go straight to discussing easy strategies in changing the singular nouns to plural nouns. 

Note, the lesson is changing singular noun to plural noun not singular words to plural words.

The reason is this-----singular verbs and plural verbs are the opposite of singular noun and plural noun. For instance, boy is singular, the plural is boys.

 COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY NURSERY 2 SECOND TERM

But in verb, run is plural the singular is runs. 

The boys run to school everyday

The boy runs to school everyday.

Though, subject verb agreement can not be taught in this class, it is important you don’t introduce wrong grammar to the children which may conflict with their future learning.

 COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE AND LITERACY NURSERY 2 SECOND TERM

RULE ONE: Add ‘s’ at the end of the word.

Explain to the children that they form plural of a word by adding ‘s’ to the word. Give them several examples.
