The first thing I did was see what my students already knew. I did this by giving them a simple pre-assessment that I made. Click it to get a free download of it from my TPT Store.
Once I knew what they knew, I was able to go to the Powerpoint about irregular past tense verbs and skip ahead to various points for each of my groups, based on their prior knowledge. The Powerpoint is available by clicking or tapping the photo below.
Despite showing this Powerpoint, it was still a little difficult for students to understand which verbs were regular and which were irregular. One thing I realized I was saying over and over was that it was just something you have to remember- that if you say the past tense verb and it doesn't sound right, it probably isn't right. I decided to make a flap book with them to give them something they could look at over and over and take home to practice with their parents. This worked really well because the flap book includes the most common irregular past tense verbs.
