A reflexive pronoun is a special word we use when the person doing the action is also the one receiving it. It reflects the subject of the sentence back like a mirror! For example, in the sentence 'She taught herself to play the piano,' the pronoun 'herself' points right back to 'she.' You will practice using singular words like himself and plural words like themselves.

Master Pronoun Agreement in 3rd grade
Reflexive pronouns like himself, ourselves, and themselves are introduced in 2nd grade and polished in 3rd grade. These words are essential because they ensure sentences make grammatical sense when the subject and object are the same. Correct pronoun agreement helps young writers transition from simple sentences to more complex, descriptive compositions.
Tips for Home and Classroom Practice
Encourage kids to look for clues in their sentences to choose the correct reflexive pronoun:
- Identify the subject first: If the sentence starts with "we," the pronoun must be "ourselves."
- Check singular versus plural: Spotting the difference between singular "yourself" and plural "yourselves" helps build deeper awareness.
- Act it out: Have children perform simple physical actions (like "I waved to myself in the mirror") to make the concept concrete before writing.
Once kids master these reflexive forms, they will be ready to tackle subjective, objective, and possessive pronouns with greater confidence.
