What are Concrete and Abstract Nouns?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nConcrete nouns are nouns that name a physical person, place, or thing, that can be experienced with your five senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concrete Noun Examples:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Sand<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pie<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cloud<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Music<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Smoke<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- cloud<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Abstract nouns are nouns that refer to feelings, ideas, and qualities. They cannot be experienced with our five senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abstract Nouns Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Pride<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fear<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Luck<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Goal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Memory<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Success<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Bravery<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Humor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How do you know if a noun is abstract or concrete?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe main difference between concrete and abstract nouns is whether they refer to something that can be experienced or perceived with the senses or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nHow to Teach Concrete and Abstract Nouns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIntroduce the two types of nouns and teach their differences. I use interactive teaching slides with visuals, examples, partner games, sorting activities, and reading sentences with concrete and abstract nouns in context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After introducing the two types of nouns we spend the week generating and categorizing examples, writing sentences, reading grammar passages, and locating concrete nouns and abstract nouns, and practicing with task cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This simple daily grammar routine<\/strong><\/a> gives your students practice in a variety of ways to help them remember and master identifying and using concrete and abstract nouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nConcrete and Abstract Nouns Activities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTeaching Slides with Whole Group Games<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nColorful and engaging lesson slides make introducing the skill and teaching the minilessons so easy! Each PowerPoint includes not only minilessons but also interactive whole group and partner practice activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nConcrete and Abstract Noun Task Cards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHave students continue to practice using task cards. Use the cards as a literacy center or place them around the room for students to \u201croam the room\u201d to complete with a partner. Another option is to spread the cards onto desks. Students complete the card and pass it on to the next student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The task cards include cards in two formats. Some ask students to identify examples and non-examples of concrete and abstract nouns. While others ask students to categorize the two noun types in example sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nConcrete and Abstract Noun Worksheets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nStudents engage in independent practice with targeted practice worksheets. The worksheets include a short reading passage, cut-and-paste word sort, and an activity for generating and writing sentences using concrete and abstract nouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
