Children practice reading and writing about more than one object in this grammar lesson all about plural nouns. Geared toward kindergarten and first grade learners, this lesson plan is a great way to review the definition of “nouns” and help young learners understand the difference between singular and plural nouns. Children will practice counting various objects, writing out both the number and corresponding plural noun, and then reading aloud what they wrote, touching each word as they read.
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to recognize and form regular plural nouns.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
