Quick Tip
A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun (a person, place, or thing).
Look for words like I, you, he, she, it, we, they — they are always pronouns.

Teaching Notes
Ask students to point to a classmate and say their name, then say a pronoun for them (he/she/they). This makes the substitution concrete before written practice.
Vocabulary
Pronoun: A word that takes the place of a noun.
Identify: To recognize or find something.
Common Mistakes
- Circling a noun rather than the pronoun
- Missing possessive determiners like his or her (not target pronouns here)
- Circling the entire noun phrase instead of just the pronoun
Differentiation
SupportGive students a printed list of the 7 personal pronouns to use as a checklist.
ChallengeAfter circling, ask: What noun does that pronoun replace?
Discussion Questions
- Why do we use pronouns instead of repeating a name over and over?
- Can the word I be used in a story about someone else?
Extension Activities
- Read a paragraph aloud and have students clap every time they hear a pronoun.
- Rewrite a short story replacing all pronouns with the actual names — then discuss how that sounds.
Parent Tip
Ask your child to replace nouns in sentences with 'he,' 'she,' 'it,' or 'they.'
