About this resource
Choose action words from the bank and label the pictures of familiar activities.
- Illustrations of familiar daily actions
- Action-verb word bank
- Response spaces for labelling each picture
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Identifying verbs in context supports a narrow early grammar connection. England Year2 Appendix2 explicitly introduces noun, adjective and verb terminology (PDF p3); the supplied task practises recognition rather than all writing applications. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
