To teach children about pronouns, try some of the following ideas:

• Share the poster available below with the class and use it as a teaching tool.
• Print the poster / banner and use it on a classroom display.
• Cut out the list of pronouns. Give children a random pronoun and ask them to use it within a sentence.
• Display the examples of pronouns so that children can refer to them during their independent writing.
• Challenge children to find examples of pronouns in their reading books.
• Ask children to replace a pronoun in a sentence with a different one. Does it change the meaning of the sentence? How?
• If the children hear a pronoun being used throughout the day, ask them to point it out. Do you also use pronouns in your Maths / Science / PE lessons?
• Can your class sort pronouns into different groups? What groups could be used (e.g. pronouns to describe things that are singular / plural, pronouns to describe people and objects)?
• Could the children think of a mnemonic to help them remember what 'pronoun' means?
• Could you make a song / rap about pronouns?
• Make a class display showing every pronoun that children can find.
