Description
These booklets provide targeted instruction for irregular plurals for your upper elementary students. These booklets use a variety of words (single-syllable and multisyllabic) to teach and provide practice for the different irregular plural words. Students will learn the different types of irregular plurals, and will explore and practice the pattern through a mini-lesson, independent practice, and a partner game.
Each Booklet Has:
- A mini-lesson for the teacher that breaks down the rationale for the focus;
- Example from a Mini-Lesson: Irregular Plural Nouns are nouns whose plural form doesn’t take the typical –s or –es ending used for most English nouns. This happens for a variety of reasons, but many trace their irregular spellings back to their languages of origin, such as Old English and Latin.
- I Do, We Do, You Do portion of the mini-lesson
- “Word Exploration” Activity
- Independent Practice
- “Mystery Word” Activity (some booklets)
- Complete the Word Activity (some booklets)
- Mini Board Game
