Spelling List 20: Plurals with Es Worksheets for 1st Grade

What your child practices

Your child studies the 1st grade words for plurals with es (Grade 1 in Canada) across 6 worksheets and 60 questions. In the early grades, spelling and phonics grow together: when children can hear the sounds in a word, they can write it, and every list builds on that link. The set includes Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. The skill matches Common Core L.1.2d, the standard for capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches L.1.1c, using grammar correctly in writing and speaking. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 1. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Tap out the sounds in each word before spelling it. Hearing the sounds comes first.
• Ask your child to sort the words by pattern and explain the rule they notice.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
