Do your class know their possessive apostrophes from their apostrophes for contraction? Then use this Key Stage 2 Correct Apostrophes Test Practice to showcase their skills! This resource includes four levels of differentiated that are ideal to use across all year groups in key stage 2. The level of challenge increases as the children learn more, and the questions are based on a multiple choice format. We've included two tests per level of challenge. You could designate one challenge level per year group, or use across multiple year groups and include differentiation.

Use this in class as part of your ongoing assessments and use the information to identify gaps in children's learning. This could inform whether you need any future interventions. Alternatively, you could use this as a homework activity or as an extension task. There's a handy answer sheet included for each test too.
