The most appropriate reaction by Snookie's teacher when she pronounces the singular form of chair instead of the plural form is to line up three chairs and show her the visual difference between three chairs and one chair to make sure she understands that chairs means more than one chair. Simply looking at a list of plural and singular nouns or adding an s to them is not an effective way of teaching her that an s at the end means more than one.
