Plurals –s, -es
• Remember we make the plurals of most
nouns by adding –s to the singular form of
the noun for example, bat/bats.
• Also, remember that when the singular
form of a word ends with ss, x, ch, or sh,
you must add –es to the word for example;
grass/grasses, watch/watches, or
fox/foxes.
Plurals –s, -es
• Say this word: PENNY
• When penny becomes plural the final y is
replaced by the letter i. Then the –es
ending is added.

Fluency
• Open your books to page 122-123!!
• I’m going to read aloud part of “Ellen
Ochoa, Astronaut.” I will read at a
consistent rate-slow enough to read all of
the words at the same pace, but not so
slow that I lose the meaning of the
sentence.

Fluency
• Now get with your partner and read pages
122-123 of “Ellen Ochoa, Astronaut” to
each other. Remember to begin at a
reasonable pace and to continue that
reading rate throughout. As one partner
reads, the other partner should raise a
hand or a finger whenever the reader is
speeding up or slowing down.

book, they need to list the title, author, publisher,

back of a book. An index lists topics, people, and
places mentioned in the book and their page
numbers. An index is helpful when searching for
a certain word or topic in a book.

Use a Dictionary
• A dictionary provides information about many
words. Remember that dictionaries list words in
alphabetical order to make words easy to find.
Guide words at the tops of the pages help you
fin the correct page on which an entry word is
listed. The information in an entry includes:
• How the word is spelled
• What the word means
• How the word is pronounced
• Whether the word is a noun, a verb, or another
part of speech
Use a Dictionary
• Doctor (doc ter) Noun .1 a person who treats people when they are
sick verb 2. to change something, to change how something looks.
• I’m not sure how to say the word or what it means as I read. I find
the entry word for mound on a page in the dictionary. To see how its
pronounced, I look at the word in parentheses. I say mound. I then
notice that mound is a noun. I see that it has two meanings
numbered 1 and 2. I think about how the word is used in the
sentence and check my idea with the two definitions in the dictionary
entry.
• Mound (maund) Noun 1. a heap of something such as dirt or
potatoes. 2 the raised area in the middle of a baseball diamond,
from which the pitcher throws the ball.
