What's included?
Targeted Year 2 resources for introducing possession using the apostrophe, a core KS1 Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS) objective for ownership. These materials employ a structured small step approach to build conceptual understanding of how the apostrophe shows belonging (e.g., 'the boy's hat'). Activities promote reasoning and editing skills, ensuring pupils achieve national curriculum mastery in this key area of punctuation. Use this resource from the CS Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Scheme for explicit instruction in possessive apostrophes.
