The series includes a range of books that cover various aspects of literacy teaching and learning, and this particular book focuses on teaching plural nouns and suffixes.

The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of plural nouns and suffixes. The first chapter introduces regular plural noun suffixes such as -s and -es, and explains how they are used to form plural nouns. The second chapter covers suffixes that can be added to verbs where no change is required to spell the root word, such as helping, helper, and helped. The third chapter explores how the prefix un- changes the meaning of verbs and adjectives, such as unkind.

The fourth chapter focuses on sentence construction, including the use of words, joining words, joining clauses, sequencing sentences to form short narratives, and separation of words with spaces. The fifth chapter covers the role of capital letters, full stops/periods, question marks, and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences. The sixth chapter emphasizes the use of capital letters for names and personal pronouns.

The book is designed to be used with students and includes a set of lesson plans and worksheets that can be used to develop understanding through word level and sentence level work.
