Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up verbs with nouns when the same word can be both, such as 'play' (Children play) versus 'play' (a school play). First graders need to look at how the word is used in the sentence.
• Picking the subject instead of the verb. When asked to find the verb in 'The dog barks,' some children point to 'dog' because it is the most familiar word rather than the action word 'barks.'
• Using the wrong verb form with singular and plural subjects, like writing 'She run fast' instead of 'She runs fast.' First graders are still learning to add -s to verbs that follow he, she, or it.
