For parents: what Plural Pizza practices

Plural Pizza teaches the spelling rules for plurals: just add -s; add -es after s, x, sh and ch; and change y to i after a consonant. It pairs with:

• Plural nouns
• Change y to i
• Plural noun worksheets

Common Core: L.1.1c (singular and plural nouns), L.2.1b (form and use irregular plural nouns), L.2.2d.

Getting the most out of it

• Say the plural: if you hear an extra syllable (box-es), it's probably -es.
• Look at the last letter before the y: a consonant means change y to i.
• Make a list of -es words: box, fox, dish, peach.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
