**__<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">About These Books: __** <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Mr. Wright's class, and not just for the students. Nouns and verbs are inventing their own games, such as tug-of-words, and putting on three-legged races. But before the real fun can begin, someone is going to have to teach nouns and verbs about the kinds of teamwork needed to make a sentence. This book is a companion to **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">'Nouns and Verbs have a field day'- It's Field Day in <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Punctuation Takes a Vacation **<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Both these books would suit grades 3 and 4 and would be an interesting way to introduce nouns and punctuation to students. The images in the book would also reinforce the information, and allow those students who have learning disabilities recall facts on nouns, verbs and punctuation. **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> Picture Book learning [|Nouns] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-weight: normal;">
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">This website suggests a list of children's books that teachers can utilize and modify to suit the grammar type they are teaching.
