The importance of Verb Practice
As early as kindergarten, students are expected to use frequently occurring verbs and nouns 1. In first grade, students are expected to use verbs to convey a sense of past, present, and future 2. By grade 5, students are expected to recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense as well as use perfect verb tenses 3. Each grade incorporates increasingly difficult levels of verbs in their requirements. Understanding, and using, the correct verb tense is critical for academic writing 4. Verb Quest is the perfect speech therapy software to help students gain the knowledge needed for success.
