Interesting Observation of the Day!
I like to give my EL Students plenty of opportunities to read out loud. This helps students with reading fluency, pronunciation and allows me the opportunity to observe how they are doing. I am noticing more and more that my students (especially my Asian speaking students) are omitting the plural "s" sound at the end of a word. For an example, as a student is reading and comes across a word such as "soldiers" they pronounce it in the singular form and say "soldier". I know this has a lot to do with how their native language uses plural nouns but I find this very interesting. Does anyone have an interesting way to teach plural nouns to EL Students?
