Using anchor charts to talk about Parts of Speech is the perfect grammar reference to keep on your classroom walls, project on the whiteboard or add to student notebooks. Students can reference the visuals to improve their understanding of the Parts of Speech and as a result they’ll improve:
- comprehension
- writing skills
- speaking skills
These functional notebook grammar charts are an amazing addition to the learning process. When I think back to my elementary school days, I can actually remember with detail what my classrooms looked like. ESL students are constantly in need of a reference point and can use notebook cheat sheets all year in their writing assignments and speaking activities. Having a constant visual reminder of a specific grammar point, skill or vocabulary list is a great way to reinforce passive learning and help students build their skill sets.
THE parts of speech – simplified for esl
WHAT PARTS OF SPEECH are included in these cheat sheets?
I’ve carefully created a colorful visual representation for each of the parts of speech below. As a visual learner, I’ve always found charts and graphs to be the most useful way to organize information (even language learning information). Additionally each chart is available in full color or a B/W less ink printing option.

VERB CHARTS
Verb charts are a great way to explain Irregular verbs, Regular verb ending sounds and verb conjugation. Grab this FREE Irregular verb chart which outlines how Past Tense verbs can be studied by “group”. Instead of giving your students a long list of verbs to memorize, this grouping breaks down the changes from Present to Past into easily manageable categories. I’ve found that students are much less intimidated by these groupings then when presented with an enormous three column list. The verb chart by group is a sneak peek of the VERB TENSE CHEAT SHEETS resource. You can also learn more about resource for teaching irregular verbs HERE in the blog post about Irregular verbs made easy which talk s about different ways to practice using the past tense with ESL language learners.
