Skills Covered

- Decode and encode plural forms in reading and writing

How to Use
Go Fish (printable)
- Deal 5–7 cards per player; rest face down as a draw pile.
- Players request the matching singular or plural to make pairs (e.g., “Do you have babies?” to match baby).
- Students read and say both forms when they lay down a pair to reinforce spelling patterns.
Task Cards (printable)
Use as a scoot, center, early finisher set, or exit tickets. Students select the correct plural ending and record answers on the sheet.
Boom Cards™ (digital)
Assign for independent practice, homework, or progress monitoring. Self-grading items provide immediate feedback and data.
