# Venturing out for verbs

  ![Image of Venturing out for verbs](https://files.schudio.com/ststephenskm/images/blog/oxford_reading_tree.jpg)  18 October 2016   [Lyndsey Faulkner](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/author/Lyndsey)   [Year 2 Blog](https://www.ststephenskearsley.co.uk/blog/category/year-2-blog)

When listening to your child read tonight why not spend a couple of minutes investigating how many verbs they can spot by skim reading each page and challenging them to beat you. You could also use this opportunity to explore their knowledge (and ability) to spot other word classifications eg nouns and adjectives. This is a great way to consolidate the grammar learning that takes place in school in preparation for the SATs that take place in May. Thank you for your continuing support through daily reading, this is really benefitting the children in class.
