Here's an "opener" you can use when introducing pronouns:Once upon a time, there was a man named Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff. When Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff's alarm clock rang in the morning, Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff shut it off and got out of bed. Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff got dressed and ate breakfast. Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff went outside and locked the door. Then Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff stood at the corner and waited for the bus. When the bus arrived at the building where Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff worked, Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff got off the bus. Nicholas Rimsky-Korsakoff took the elevator and got off at the fifth floor. |
