We are doing a little parts of speech review here at the end of the year. So, I created some simple Parts of Speech Posters for my 2nd and 3rd graders.
You might want to check out our Parts of Speech Word Sorts, too!

FREE Parts of Speech Posters
Included in this free download, you’ll find NINE free posters for parts of speech. They include: Noun, Verb, Adjective, Pronoun, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection, & Article. It includes TWO sizes for each poster 1- full-page and 2- half-page in color and blackline.
*These posters were added in August, 2022.
Each poster has the part of speech listed at the top and then information about each one below. They are simple, which no extra clip art or pictures.
This is what each poster says:
Noun:
- person – a girl
- place – the store
- animal -a cat
- thing – my shoe
- idea – in love
Verb:
- an action word – He jumps up and down. or She ate her lunch.
- a state of being – I am happy. or They are big.
Adjective:
- how many- five ducks
- 5 senses – a foul odor, shiny car, sweet drink, bumpy road, or loud bird
- which one- that book
Pronoun: Takes the place of a noun
- Pete went to school. – He went to school.
- I gave the book to Sue. – I gave it to Sue.
Adverb:
- How? – loudly, kindly, fast, quietly
- Where? here, there, inside, outside
- When? & How often? – every day, now
Preposition: indicates a location or a relationship / used to start a prepositional phrase
- I sat under the tree.
- The mail is in the mailbox.
- Let’s meet after the show.
Conjunction: “connecting words” that join words, phrases, or sentences
- For
- And
- Nor
- But
- Or
- Yet
- So
Interjection: a word or phrase that expresses emotion
- Ouch! That hurt!
- Oh no! She dropped it.
- Eeek! I’m so excited!
Article: a type of adjective telling if a noun is definite or not
- Definite: the boy, the lamp
- Indefinite: a dog, an orange*
*The article an comes before nouns that begin with a vowel sound.
Extra Note: With an, we are listening for vowel SOUND, not just paying attention to letters as vowels. This means, a word like hour needs an before it (an hour) because the h is silent. Therefore, hour begins with a vowel sound.
Hang them up on a wall or create a simple flip book by hole-punching the top corner and clipping to a ring.
*As of 2/2019, these posters have been updated: animal in the Noun poster, a Preposition poster, a Conjunction poster, and an Interjection poster. An Article poster was also added 8/2022.
I’ve also created Parts of Speech Word Sorts, so check those out for some hands-on categorizing with five of these parts of speech.
Enjoy teaching!

I always teach….person, place, animal, thing, and idea….PPATI! (I always say its our friend Ppati.) I feel animals are not things – they are living beings and it ties in well to sciece; living vs. nonliving….
Could you do that poster? Thanks, have an awesome day!!!
I was going to ask the same thing. 🙂 I love these posters for my 1st & 2nd split classroom but would need to add animal to it.
Thank you for your request. I will keep that in mind if I do an update on the posters.

Becky,
I love your parts of speech resources! Thanks so much for sharing!
You’re very welcome!
Becky, I am a homeschooling mom of 3 kids. I cannot express in words what a blessing your resources are to my family. God bless you.
Sometimes I am not able to do everything with the curriculums and my kids are overjoyed to use other resources to give them a little change in learning!
Yes, a little change now and then goes a long way, doesn’t it? 🙂
Currently, we’re home schooling and in lockdown from covid-19. (Melbourne, Australia) The resources on your site are brilliant, helpful, colourful and are a wonderful addition to the resources and activities we have from our school. Thank you so much for all that you’ve shared!
Every time I find a free printable, I almost cry. I’m not sure if you realize the impact something like this can have. I am NOT gifted with the skills required to be a teacher, so I am constantly searching for help. I am a bit less overwhelmed now ☺️.
Thank you so much!
Aw, thank you for your sweet comment. 🙂 I’m so blessed to know that I can help in some way.
Thank you so much! The posters are simple and easy to read! I will use the sorting cards for a scavenger hunt.
I am going through treatment for metastatic breast cancer while homeschooling my kiddos. I’m having horrible memory problems & cannot remember the parts of speech. These posters will be especially appreciated & very well used by all of us! Thank you so much, it’s been such a blessing to find these.
These are wonderful, thank you so much!! Would you consider adding one more for articles?
Done! 🙂
