Grammar Third Grade Activities: Pronouns

This resource is all about pronouns: what they are and how to identify them. I designed this unit to help your students learn what pronouns are—and retain that knowledge. The activities are simple to prep, and should only take about 10 minutes of class time. By the end of the week, your students will be able to confidently spot a pronoun at 50 paces!

More about this resource

Our UPDATED third grade grammar lesson on pronouns makes teaching grammar a piece of cake. Grammar is so important for kids to understand, but it can be tough to teach. There are so many rules and exceptions. It’s easy to second-guess yourself. And let’s face it, grammar isn’t always a ton of fun.

But with these UPDATED & IMPROVED lessons, your students can become excellent grammarians in just 10 minutes a day! Each no prep lesson comes complete with a full week of activities, including: a mini-lesson, interactive notebook activity (NOW with answer key), writing, task cards, and an assessment.

We’ve done all the planning and prep for you. Each lesson includes everything you need to teach, practice, and assess the weekly skill. Tricky grammar skills are broken down into bite-sized pieces. All you have to do is print and teach. Plus, all of the activities in this lesson are included in a digital version, too!

Frequently Asked

Are there other third grade grammar lessons available?

Yes! You can see all of the third grammar lessons here.

Do you have grammar lessons for other grades?

Yes! We have grammar lessons for second, fourth, and fifth grades.

Where do you have the students do the writing activity? In the same notebook as the notebook activity? Or a different notebook?

I have my students do it on the page next to their notebook activity.

Do you have any suggestions for how to organize the grammar notebooks? Does this need to be a separate notebook from their writing journal?

My students don’t generally have enough room in the writing notebook to include grammar. But I did go ahead and split my reading notebook in half and use it for grammar and reading.

Will the PowerPoints open properly on Google Slides? My school does not use Microsoft.

Yes.

Are the PowerPoint presentations editable?

I’m sorry. There is not an editable version of this resource at this time.

How do I use the digital resources?

This resource includes a PDF with links to all of the digital activities. These are designed to be used in Google Classroom, and this resource includes detailed directions on how to assign them.

Your grammar resources are very engaging! My students love using the interactive notebook pages and working together to solve the task cards. This is perfect in a spiral review station so they can continue to practice using pronouns. Thanks again for an exceptional resource!

These activities are great to use throughout a week! The Powerpoint is a great way to introduce the skill and content in an engaging way. The notebook activity gives students an opportunity to show what they learned from the Powerpoint. I love to utilize the task cards for a partner activity later in the week.
