How to Teach Pronouns with these Worksheets
These pronoun worksheets cover demonstrative, personal, and possessive pronouns. I usually start with demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those). Before using the worksheets, you can quickly show what these words mean by pointing at things in the classroom that are near (this/these) and far (that/those). This gives students a clear, simple introduction to using pronouns in place of nouns.
Once students are comfortable with demonstrative pronouns, it becomes much easier to introduce personal pronouns (he, she, it, they), as they are already used to replacing a noun with a word. At this stage, I explain that this/that/these/those are mainly used for things, while different pronouns are used for people. You can then introduce and practice personal pronouns, and use the worksheets above to practice.
Possessive pronouns are usually taught later. Before introducing them, it helps to make sure students are confident with personal pronouns like he and she, since these form the base for his and her. After teaching possessive pronouns, give students the worksheets above to practice and reinforce what they have learned.
