One of the most difficult parts of learning to speak English is the correct pronunciation of plural nouns and verbs. Many of my ESL children have a lot of trouble understanding when to add "S" to the end of a word. Verbally, they seem to hear it and be able to tell me what it should be....but to get them to write it on paper is something I have yet to figure out (suggestions welcome).
I have created this Christmas Plurals activity to help them visualize adding an "S" to a word to show more than one.
I'm totally with you on children understanding plurals. Just when I think they have it, realize that their idea of understanding was totally different than what I thought they were understanding...Therefore we review...review..review. Thank you for sharing.
