Key learning points
- A noun is a naming word, such as a "dentist"
- A noun is a person, place or thing
- If a noun has a specific name of someone or something, it needs a capital letter, such as "Lily" or "England"
- Sounding out a word before writing helps to spell a word
- Reading back writing is important to check it is correct and makes sense
Keywords

Noun - a naming word for people, places or things
Common noun - a naming word that does not need a capital letter

Common misconception
Pupils may be unsure of what a noun is and so, unable to understand their caption is a noun.
Teach the 'Year 1 Word Class Grammar Unit' at the same time as this so the children can have explicit teaching of nouns and word class.
Equipment
