Spelling Plurals
To create plurals for most words, only the letter
s needs to be added.
If a word ends in ch, sh, or ss, the letters es
must be added to create the plural.
For words that end in y, the final y must be
changed to i before adding es.
Examples:
plant
inch
penny

Comprehension Skill:
Sequence
•
•
Sequence is the order in which things
happen in a story – what happens first,
next, and last.
Sometimes a writer uses clue words like
first, next, and in the morning. Sometimes
a writer does not. Then you can tell the
order by picturing in your mind what is
happening.
First
Next
Then
Last
Strategy:
Summarize
Good readers sum up what
happens as they read a story. When
you sum up, remember to tell only
the important events in the order that
they happened. This will help you
remember what you’re reading.

Sequence
