Plural Nouns
Plural Nouns
In order to form plural nouns, we must follow specific rules. Ask your child to tell you a singular and plural form of a noun, such as leaf and leaves. Challenge them to spell each form of the noun. This will help develop a more solid understanding of the rules.
Teach your students the rules for changing nouns from the singular to plural forms. By teaching the specific rules, your students will be able to correctly form and use plural nouns in context.

Main Idea & Supporting Details
Support your learner in writing a full paragraph with a main idea and three supporting details. To make this challenging task fun, provide opportunities to color code a nonfiction text by highlighting the main idea in one color and underlining the supporting details in another color. When your child is comfortable with the paragraph structure, provide a graphic organizer to use as guidance when writing nonfiction paragraphs.
Do you want to build strong writers? Teach them to always support the main idea with facts and details. Model how to pick out main ideas and supporting details in shorter texts before tackling longer texts. Engage students by color coding the main idea and supporting details in paragraphs to provide them with a visual of proper paragraph structure.
