Pronoun and Antecedent Matching Reteach for Grade 4
By Lilly B.
A short matching reteach activity that helps 4th graders pair pronouns with their antecedents by number and gender, with an answer key included. It builds skills in identifying nouns that pronouns replace and checking agreement, and works well as a quick review or small-group intervention.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 15-20 minute reteach after a mini-lesson on pronouns, or during a small-group block for students who mixed up singular and plural pronouns.
- Discussion question: Why do we say "The dog and the cat" needs "them" instead of "it"? What clue in the phrase tells you it's plural?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students circle the antecedent first, then ask whether it is one thing or more than one before choosing a pronoun.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write two original sentences, one using "everyone" and one using "each," and explain which pronoun agrees and why.
- Check answers against the key, then have students correct any mismatches by rereading the example sentence in the Remember box.
