Description:You'll also find a printable list of "Spelling Rules" that may be handy to have around the house.

When you get to the site, you'll see an introduction and a menu on the left. Review the "Course Outline" for directions and tips on the best way to tackle the course that includes:

• A Pre-Test
• Lessons
• Exercises
• Final Test
• Answer Key
The lessons cover:

• Plural Nouns

Again, these lessons are free and designed for students in about grades 6-9.
