what is a easy way to help students (3rd graders) remember subject - verb agreement

This resource focuses on the concept of subject-verb agreement, teaching students how to properly match singular and plural subjects with their corresponding verbs. It outlines the main rule that one singular subject requires a singular verb—often ending in '-s'—while many plural subjects need plural verbs that typically do not have an '-s' at the end. The material includes various exercises and memory tricks to reinforce these principles, such as identifying singular and plural subjects and matching them with the correct verbs. Additionally, interactive activities like clapping to differentiate between singular and plural subjects are suggested, aiming to engage students and enhance their learning through practice.
