Again, many of these words will probably be familiar to some of your third and fourth grade students through daily use. The purpose of vocabulary aids like this one is to reinforce that familiarity into certain knowledge.

At this stage of development, vocabulary moves from being a memorization exercise to a fundamental tool of lifelong literacy.

Idioms With an N Word Activity

This is the age at which you can begin to talk about the subjective or idiomatic uses of language. See if your students know sayings like "never say never" or "better than nothing," then ask them to explain what the N words in those phrases mean. Write a bunch of idioms using N words on the board. Allow students to work in groups to dissect the meanings.

The Etymology of N Words Activity

Several of these words were chosen to have interesting origins. Involve your students in their etymology. For example, nada came to mean "nothing" in English because it's Spanish for zero. "Novel" literally means "the new thing" because writing stories in prose was "the new thing" in the 16th century. Allow your students to connect to the magic of the English language by having them discover the etymology behind the N word list given.

The Ns and Outs: Things That Start With N

The common occurrence of the N sound makes it a key element of vocab learning. That process starts with lists, but it opens out into the origins, consequences and possible future of the whole language. When students connect something as simple and abstract as the letter N to their own lives and stories, they become part of keeping the language alive.

I have known the letter H for a long time —
I've been told since childhood:
"But-but!"
And he has grown up, now in response

And mom: "We must!"
In general, we don't get along with the letter H.
Erase H from the alphabet,
But my name is Nikita...

A boring word - “I must!” -

It always spoils my work,
It doesn't bother me very much!
But - "I won't!", "I don't want to!" —
I scream with pleasure.

Narwhal is a mysterious animal,
Shrouded in ancient mystery,
There are strange legends about it
They do not go by chance,

They say that somewhere in the world
such a wonderful beast,
Similar in appearance to a horse,
But with an unusual head,

Decorated with a long horn,
And call him Unicorn,
But there is little truth in those legends,
Narwhal is not a horse, rather a dolphin,

Narwhals live in the cold northern seas
Among snows and ice floes.
