Noun Song
Tune: Yellow Rose of Texas
( 4 measure introduction)

A noun will name a per-son
As Frank or Sue or Joe .
A noun will name a pla-ce
Like York or Buf-fa-lo .

A noun will name a thing as
Your coat or game or vest .
I-de-as such as love and peace ,
And jo-y are the best.

Repeat


     Verb Song
Tune: Oh Susanna
( 4 measure introduction)

A verb will show an ac-tion
It tells what things can do .
A dog will bark
A bird will sing.
A cat will always mew

A bell will ring
A doorbell ding.
An artist draws so well.
A mother loves and from above
The rain just fell and fell.

Girls will skip and
A boy will surely run
Hoo-ray for verbs that help us.
These words are real-ly fun!

Tune: Turkey in the Straw
( 4 measure introduction)

                       Chorus:
If you need an-other word
To take the pla-ce of a noun.
You just look and look until a pro-noun's found.
Words as she and he and it can
Come in han-dy ev-'ry day.
We and us , them and they-ey ,
Are the words we say

She is a girl and
He is a boy.
It is a thing as my game or toy
Learn the song and sing a-long with me ,
Pro-nouns are very use-ful as we all can see.

Repeat chorus

I call my-self the lit-tle word I ,
We as a group can climb ver-y high.
I can point to you and you and you,
Such a good way to tell us just what we can do.

Sing a-long and we will do just fine,
Now I know lit-tle pro-nouns real-ly can be mine .

Use a pro-nou-n

If it in-cludes you.

She is al-ways a girl, some-times small.
It de-scribes a thing that is with-out life
As a fork or spoon or knife.

Tune: In the Good Old Summertime
( 8 measure introduction)

Pre-po-si-tions are for me
Tell-ing us where some-thing can be .
A-bove the clouds, un-der the sea.
Learn the words with me,
Out-side the house, a-gainst the door.
By the sink, on the floor.
A-round the park, up-on the swing,
Be-side the lake we sing.

Pre-po-si-tions are for me
Let's me tell when some-thing can be .
Dur-ing our stay, through-out the day.
There's an-other way
To help us learn just all we can.
One more verse, don't be slow
O-ver the hills, and through the woods,
To grand-mo-ther's house we go.

Come learn with me as more we sing.
A-round the park, up-on the sw-ing,
Be-side the lake a lunch we bring.

                      Conjunction Song

Tune: She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain
( 4 measure introduction)

A con-junc-tion is con-nect-ing two-oo words
Double subject: Jim and Nancy fed the birds.
There's an-o-ther way to use it,
We can have a double ver-b,
Mike's bi-cy-cle rolled and crashed in-to the curb.

Would you like to have some ice cream or some cake?
In the yard you use a hoe or use a rake.
Use this very small con-junc-tion then, and use your sing-ing voi-ce,
Lit-tle words can sure-ly help you make the choice.

I like blue but "I will take the color red".
Con-tra-dicts the words that wer-e just said.
I like green but give me gra-y.
First choice an-o-ther day
Con-n-junc-tions ar-e help-ful in this way

Repeat Verse 1


                               Article Song

Tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home
( 4 measure introduction)

An ar-ti-cle is just ve-ry lit-tle
That is true.
But it has a job that
O-ther parts of speech can't do.
These three ver-y lit-tle words can be found
Al-ways right in the front of a noun.
They are a , an , the
The words that we al-ways sound.
They are a , an , the
The words that we al-ways sound.

The al-ways points to a
Def-i-nite per-son, place, or thing.
The boy, the book, the desk,
The fin-ger, and the ring.

The is a ver-y fine, use-ful word.
Al-ways use it cor-rect-ly sir,
Us-ing a , an , the
The words that we al-ways sound.
Us-ing a , an , the
The words that we al-ways sound.

When do we use such ar-ti-cles as a and an?
In-def-i-nite words will al-ways need a dif'-rent plan.
a cow on the far-m, an oc-to-pus,
Watch for the vow-el and con-so-nant plus
Use an a ,or an
The words that we al-ways sound.
Use an a ,or an
The words that we al-ways sound.


Parts of Speech Review Song

Tune: Skip to my Lou
( 4 measure introduction)

A noun will name a per-son,
A noun will name a per-son,
A noun will name a per-son,
Per-son, place, or thing.

Pro-nouns such as he and she,
Pro-nouns such as they and me,
Pro-nouns such as it and we,
Not a noun, we bring.

Verbs will show an action,
Verbs will show an action,
Verbs will show an action,
Stand and hop and swing.

Adverbs tell about verbs,
An-swer questions, yes sir,
Where? When? and How much?,
How-ow? now we sing.


(Start the midi over again.)

An ar-ti-cle is lit-tle,
An ar-ti-cle is lit-tle,
An ar-ti-cle is lit-tle,
A-a, an, and the.

Ad-jec-tives describe nouns,
Ad-jec-tives describe nouns,
Ad-jec-tives describe nouns,
Big and tall green tree.

And is a con-junc-tion ,
Or is a con-junc-tion ,
But is a con-junc-tion ,
Con-nect-ing words for me.

Pre-po-si-tions tell us where,
Some-thing can be-e,
Un-der, o-ver, and on,
Right be-side my knee.
