Naming Words

Let’s learn the importance of Naming Words
Imagine that you and I are going for a walk. We step out and we are walking on a nice, beautiful road.
Let’s look at the picture and discuss what we see!
We see a wide road. There is a school, and next to it a bank. A bus drives past us. We see the bus driver wearing a brown shirt. There is a small boy in front of the school. He’s playing with two cats. We look up at the sky. There are many clouds.
We can also see a crow flying.

What did we see?
We saw people, places, animals and things. Then we pointed at them and named them! Here are the words that we used to name them.

Person	Place	Animal/Bird	Thing
bus driver	road	cats	bus
boy	school	crow	shirt
	bank		clouds

These are naming words. Any word that you use to name a person, place, animal or thing, is a naming word. They are also called ‘Common Nouns’
