💡 Teacher / Parent Coaching Tips: Nouns vs. Describing Words

• The "Naming vs. Describing" Rule: A naming word (noun) tells WHO or WHAT (e.g. community, cars, doctors). A describing word (adjective) tells HOW IT LOOKS or FEELS (e.g. clean, noisy, kind).
• Shading Practice: Encourage Grade 1 learners to carefully fill in the entire circle without crossing outside the lines.

📊 DepEd MATATAG Diagnostic Mastery Matrix (Grade 1 English)

• 18 – 20 Points (Napakahusay / Mastered): Demonstrates complete mastery; easily differentiates naming words from describing words in connected stories and community sentences.
• 14 – 17 Points (Mahusay / Proficient): Identifies primary nouns reliably; may need gentle reminder when encountering plural nouns or place names.
• Below 14 Points (Papaunlad / Needs Reinforcement): Practice pairing concrete objects with their names using picture cards before full sentence discrimination.
