Prepare your class to tackle apostrophes with this Year 5 Plural and Possessive Prior Learning resource. The questions are based on an objective from year 4 where children use apostrophes for possession and contraction. These skills link to the new learning that takes place in this lesson. This resource includes three varied fluency questions, two reasoning questions and an application question for children to complete.

We recommend you using this resource at the beginning of your lesson, or the day before, to enable you to put support or additional challenge into place where needed. A great resource for an independent activity, a homework task or use it in an intervention. The handy answer page will make marking easy, or use it as a peer or self-assessment tool.
