Plural Spelling – es Words

A set of 11 worksheets practicing writing the plurals of words that use es to form the plural.

  1. Popcorn Spelling- The students will be able to spell all the words given to them at an 80% accuracy rate.
  2. Round Robin Spelling- "This is a game that I developed to keep all students on task and learning. This game helps the lower student gain from the higher student."
  3. Rhyming Your Spelling Words- Learning spelling words does not have to be all drill. In this activity the students will be rhyming and playing with their own names and then doing the same things for their spelling words.
  4. Shared Spelling Strategies- In "Spelling: From Invention to Strategies," Howard Miller begins a lesson on "constructed" spelling by surveying his middle school students, using Goodman, Watson, and Burke's question from Reading Miscue Inventory (1987): "When you are working on a writing assignment and you want to write a word you don't know how to spell, what do you do?"
  5. Sidewalk Chalk Spelling- This is a great activity for a beautiful day when your students are eager to be outside! Here is an idea to help them practice their spelling words and have fun too.
  6. Silent Spelling- This is a good activity for cooperative group learning.

  12. Spelling Battleship- The students will practice spelling vocabulary, make use of a grid, and develop a positive attitude toward learning.
  13. "Spelling Checkers"- "At the end of the lesson, students should be able to remember how to spell different kinds of words - depending on which vocabulary words are taught."
  14. Spelling Cheerleading: Integrating Movement and Spelling Generalizations- Spelling should not be taught in isolation; weekly spelling lists should include either related words or high-frequency words that appear in student writing. This lesson teaches the spelling generalization for adding suffixes to words that end with the letter y.
  15. Spelling Free Throw- Children love this game. Divide students into two teams. Line them up on opposite sides of the basketball hoop.
  16. Spelling Game "Wolf"- This is a quick spelling game. All children in the class stand to begin the game.
  17. Spelling Go Fish- The students will practice their spelling words in a fun and fashionable manner.
  18. Spelling Practice- This is a great lesson for group cooperation and it is teaching using auditory, tactile and visual learning styles.
  19. Spelling Practice: Yawn!- As American as apple pie, the weekly spelling list is a "cornerstone" of education! Admit it or not, we all use lists (by choice or by administrative mandate!), and drilling and practicing for Friday's test can be pretty boring!
  20. Spelling Practice- Program shapes (I use apples) with teacher, speller, checker. Group children in threes.
  21. Spelling Roll- This lesson is designed to incorporate language arts and gymnastics in a physical education unit. The activity consists of students spelling words and using them in sentences while doing a forward roll. This is appropriate for students up to the 5th grade.
  22. Spelling with Memory Cues- "This is for any age; however, younger children need help in selecting relevant, non-ambiguous associations, e. g. see the explanation about how to spell the word, color."
  23. The Alphabet Game- This program may appear to be almost a noisy disaster the first time it is done. When it happens, a very important lesson is there to be worked with and through.
  24. The Two Voices of the "ow" Spelling Pattern- This lesson can be used as part of a series of lessons designed to show students how, in the English alphabet, each vowel represents a different set of sounds when used in different spelling patterns.
  25. "Tic-Tac-Toe Spelling"- Make a large tic-tac-toe board on the floor out of masking tape. Make it large enough for the students to stand in the squares.
  26. Window Shade Vocab and Spelling- One way to teach vocabulary is to take roll- down window shades and attach them to the walls. Then, write each vocabulary word on a post-it note and place all the post-its on the window shade.
  27. Word beginnings are crucial in spelling- Ideas for s-, sc-, c-, w-, wh- words.
  28. You Can't Spell the Word "Prefix" Without a Prefix- Starting with the premise that word study is intriguing and fun and that word study and spelling are combined skills, students learn in a cooperative setting to identify, define, and construct words with prefixes.
