Grade 1 or 2 ELA words ending in letters lf that change to plural ending of letters lves

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Early Childhood Education blog! I want to share a quick post this afternoon for an ELA activity sheet that I've made this past week. It's really crazy how a person's creativity gets sparked from reading words from someone else! What's more amazing is that I actually followed up on that spark to create this activity sheet that leads off with 1 elf and 2 elves!

I just kept picturing having columns with the numbers and word endings changing! I've got a few ideas for altering and providing more practice so hopefully time will open up in the next couple of days to make those into extra activities. Our English language has many different rules and exceptions to rules, so teachers at the primary level need to help children make sense of spelling and grammar rules through a variety of word work activities.

Elves, Calves, Shelves, Wolves, and Selves:



For student use I print everything in black and white, so this would appear differently to them. And since I was using clipart images, locating a single shelf image was very difficult and felt best using the mirror with an attached shelf photo for the singular. Then a 3-shelf bookcase clipart image is used for the plural.

I hope this inspires you to create something similar for your students!

With a passion for helping little ones,
