♿ Disability Accommodations
- Dyslexia/SLD: Use picture cards alongside written nouns — visual pairing reduces decoding stress
- Autism/ASD: Sort nouns into concrete categories (animals, food, places) using tactile sorting cards
- ELL students: Provide bilingual noun lists — English and student’s home language side by side
- Visual Impairment: Use tactile objects — students touch real items and say their noun name
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Sort nouns into proper vs common using a T-chart
- Use the “the test” — if you can say “the ___” it’s a noun
- Connect to writing — underline all nouns in a shared text
🏠 Homeschool Tip
- Label items around your home with sticky notes
- Play “I Spy a Noun” during car rides or walks
- Read a picture book and list every noun on the page
🎯 Quick Test: Can you put “the” in front of it? If yes — it’s probably a noun! “The dog” ✅ “The run” ❌

Pronouns
Takes the place of a noun in a sentence
Learn English Lab — Pronouns for Kids
Examples
Iheshetheyweitthem
🌴 Caribbean Cultural Connection
In Caribbean creole, “dem” and “dey” are used as pronouns. Use this as a bridge — compare Standard English pronouns to familiar creole expressions to build understanding.
Learning Style Activities

📖 Read/Write
Rewrite a short paragraph replacing all nouns with pronouns. Discuss how it changes the feel of the writing.

♿ Disability Accommodations
- Autism/ASD: Explicitly teach pronoun reference — use photos of known people and practice “he/she/they” substitution
- Language Impairment: Use visual pronoun charts with photos — point to the pronoun that matches each person
- Cognitive Disability: Focus on personal pronouns first (I, me, my) before expanding to others
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Address pronoun inclusivity respectfully in class discussions
- Use class stories with student names then substitute pronouns
- Pronoun relay — student says a name, next student says the pronoun
🏠 Homeschool Tip
- Use family photos — practice “he, she, they” with real people
- Retell a favourite story substituting all names with pronouns
- Make pronoun flashcards with drawings of people
🎯 Remember: Instead of “Maria went to Maria’s house” we say “Maria went to her house” — “her” is the pronoun replacing the second “Maria”!

English with Lucy — Verbs for Kids

♿ Disability Accommodations
- ADHD/OHI: TPR (Total Physical Response) — movement helps ADHD students encode verb meaning through action
- Autism/ASD: Use visual schedules showing daily verbs — wake, eat, read, play — connect grammar to routine
- SLD/Dyslexia: Colour-code action verbs vs state-of-being verbs in different highlighter colours
- Motor Impairment: Use verbal responses instead of physical action for TPR activities
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Teach action vs state of being verbs separately
- Use verb tense timelines — past, present, future
- Have students highlight all verbs in a shared reading text
🏠 Homeschool Tip
- During household chores, narrate every action using verbs
- Watch a short cartoon with the sound off — list all the verbs you see happening

“Adjective Makeover” — rewrite a plain sentence with boring nouns and add 2 adjectives to each noun to make it vivid.
♿ Disability Accommodations
- SLD/Dyslexia: Provide adjective word banks organised by category (size, colour, feeling) for writing support
- Sensory Processing: Use sensory bins — students describe textures using adjectives (rough, smooth, cold, soft)
- ELL students: Use picture dictionaries showing adjective-noun pairs in both English and home language
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Adjectives answer: What kind? How many? Which one?
- Use compare and contrast charts — big vs small, hot vs cold
- Adjective poems — students write 5-line descriptive poems
🏠 Homeschool Tip
- Play “I’m thinking of something that is…” — describe household items

🎯 Remember: Adjectives answer — What kind? How many? Which one? — “The big, red ball” — big and red are both adjectives!
📌
Articles

English with Lucy — Articles: A, An and The
The Three Articles
aanthe
Use a before consonants · an before vowels · the for specific things
🌴 Caribbean Cultural Connection
In Caribbean creole, articles are sometimes dropped — “Dog eat di food” vs “The dog ate the food.” Use this as a teaching moment — compare and contrast creole and Standard English article usage respectfully.
Learning Style Activities

Find and circle all articles in a favourite book page. Count how many A, AN and THE appear. Which is most common?
Find and circle all articles in a favourite book page. Count how many A, AN and THE appear. Which is most common?
♿ Disability Accommodations
- ELL/Language Impairment: Many languages lack articles — provide extra practice and visual reference cards
- SLD: Colour code A (blue), AN (green), THE (red) in all written work to build pattern recognition
- Cognitive Disability: Start with just THE vs A before introducing AN as a variation
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Focus on the vowel sound rule — not just the letter
- “An hour” not “a hour” — the H is silent so it’s treated as a vowel
- Use cloze sentences — fill in A, AN or THE
🏠 Homeschool Tip
- Practice at meals — “Pass me a fork” vs “Pass me the fork”
- Play article Snap — two cards, students snap if they match correctly
- Read Dr. Seuss books — they’re full of article examples!
🎯 Remember: “A dog” = any dog · “The dog” = a specific dog · “An apple” because apple starts with a vowel sound!
🚀
Adverbs
Describes a verb, adjective or adverb — tells how, when, where or to what extent
English with Lucy — Adverbs for Kids
Examples
quicklyveryyesterdayhereloudlyalways
🌴 Caribbean Cultural Connection

♿ Disability Accommodations
- ADHD: Simon Says with adverbs combines movement with learning — ideal for attention and retention
- SLD: Highlight the -ly suffix pattern in different colour — helps students identify adverbs independently
- Language Impairment: Focus on the most common adverbs first (very, always, never, here, now) before expanding
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Teach the -ly rule but note exceptions (very, here, now)
- Adverb vs adjective — “She is quick” vs “She runs quickly”

🏠 Homeschool Tip
- Describe how you do household tasks — “carefully, quickly, quietly”
- Play adverb charades — act out a verb in a specific way

Interjections
A word or phrase that expresses strong feeling or emotion
English with Lucy — Interjections for Kids

♿ Disability Accommodations
- Autism/ASD: Explicitly teach that interjections reflect emotion — use emotion charts alongside interjection examples
- Emotional Disturbance: Use interjections as a bridge for emotional vocabulary — validate feelings through language
- Hearing Impairment: Show visual expressions and body language alongside interjections — emotion is conveyed non-verbally too
👩🏫 Teacher Tip
- Connect interjections to punctuation — exclamation marks vs commas
- Strong vs mild interjections — “Wow!” vs “Oh.”
- Use in creative writing — show don’t tell emotion through interjections
🏠 Homeschool Tip
- Watch a favourite cartoon and list every interjection you hear
- Write a short comic strip where every speech bubble has an interjection
- Compare how different family members express surprise or happiness
🎯 Remember: Interjections stand alone and usually have an exclamation mark — Wow! That was incredible!
