About this worksheet
One boot, many boots. The ending that marks more than one is something a preschooler hears long before they use it reliably, and the way to build it is to say both forms out loud over a picture that makes the amount obvious. Each question shows two boxes, A and B. One box holds a single object and the other holds a group of the same object. You say the word for one or the word for many, and the child points to the box that matches.
Nothing has to be counted and nothing has to be read: the child listens for the s on the end of the word and looks for the box it belongs to. The first level puts one against a big group, so the difference is easy to see. The next puts one against three or four. The last puts one against only two or three and says just the word, boots or a boot, so the ending is the only clue. Every object adds a plain s; leaves and fish come later.
What your child will learn
- Say the one-form and the many-form of a familiar naming word
- Hear the s that marks more than one
- Tell a single picture from a group of many
- Point to the box that matches the word you hear
Head Start ELOF standard: P-LC 5, L.K.1.C
Worked example
Box A holds one drum and box B holds three. You say, “Which box has many drums?” The drums with the s on the end are the group, so the finger goes to box B.
Common mistake
Saying the one-form over a group (three drum instead of three drums). The child has the amount right and the ending missing.
Helpful hint
Say the one word, then the many word, and point to a box as you say each.
