what I learned from NTPRS: Super 7 Verbs 2015

7/25/2015

5 Comments

 
A few times during the conference various presenters mentioned "Super 7 verbs"  I had  not heard about those before.  It turns out that Terry Waltz has come up with what she feels are fundamental and foundational verbs that, if students can master them, will be useful in propelling their proficiency.  They are:

To have
To want
To go
To like
There is/the are
To feel like (doing something)
To be

Here is the article that Terry posted on MoreTPRS.  It comes from Haiyun Lu's blog:

I will make a point to have students acquire these as soon as possible.  I wonder how they fall in the "natural order?"
