Verbs

As I was speaking with the librarian at my school today about a new book, I thought that today would be a perfect day to highlight some great books to use in conjunction with teaching VERBS in 1st or 2nd grade classrooms.

These action rich books can introduce students to a wide range of verbs as well as get them up on their feet – improvising, moving in a variety of ways, or making a dance based on a book.

Check out:

1. Move! – Steve Jenkins

2. How to Be a Cat – Nikki McClure

3. Off We Go! – Jane Yolen

4. A Child's Day: An Alphabet of Play – Ida Pearle

5. Alphabet Movers – Theresa Benzwie

6. Into the A, B, Sea – Steve Jenkins and Deborah Rose

7. In the Tall, Tall Grass – Denise Fleming

8. In the Small, Small Pond – Denise Fleming

9. Star Climbing – Lou Fancher and Steve Johnson
