Know the Code: Part of Speech - Helping Verbs

This is a PDF resource to develop the concepts of verbs - in particular helping verbs. Using the Orton Gillingham principles: multisensory, explicit, sequential, cumulative and repetitive, students become better equipped to identify helping verbs. Why is this important, the more understanding students have to the specific functions of a word in a sentence, the stronger the comprehension and writing skills.

There are a few multisensory activities to develop understanding of helping verbs separate from "action" or linking verbs.The more "hands-on" activities the stronger a learner's connection. Students often struggle to identify the difference between nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions.

Additional skill buildings include:
Parts of speech
reading comprehension
Reading fluency
Decoding
