To Root, to Toot, to Parachute
To Root, to Toot, to Parachute: What Is a Verb? | Brian P. Cleary
1 post | 2 read
What is a verb? It's easier to show than explain! In this fun and animated introduction to grammar, rhyming verse is used to creatively clarify the concept of verbs. Chock-full of colorful, lively examples, the playful rhymes and illustrations of comical cartoon cats combine to hightlight key words in the sentences. Verbs like toss and tumble, jump and jam, jog and juggle, jig and leap are printed in color for easy identification.

To root, to toot, to parachute What is a verb? Is an expository nonfiction book written by Brian P. Cleary and illustrated by Jenya Promitsky. This book teaches about verbs and examples of them. This lesson would be great to start the topic of parts of speech and tie into language arts. A teacher could use this book with this lesson on cpalms, http://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewResourceLesson/Preview/44297

DrSpalding Cleary's entire parts of speech text set could be used to kick off some stellar writing mini lessons. I see amazing anchor charts being created from these titles! 8y
AmberC I have observed a teacher that used a book similar to this to teach adjectives. It is helpful to have other book suggestions and the standard on the link. 8y
