Apostrophes

Year 3

This resource pack supports children in mastering the use of apostrophes to show possession. The PowerPoint introduces the concept clearly, building confidence through discussion prompts, examples and carefully chosen errors for children to correct. It explains the difference between using apostrophes for contractions and possession with a focus on singular possession and common misconceptions. The accompanying task allows children to apply their understanding by rewriting phrases and correcting sentences that are missing apostrophes. With additional examples and explanations, the pack encourages children to think about when apostrophes are needed and when they are not. Designed specifically for Year 3 but suitable as a refresher for older pupils, this resource provides a solid foundation in punctuation and helps children apply the rule with accuracy in their writing.
