How to Use This Pack

Four pages of possessive nouns. On two pages each row says what an owner has, The hen has an egg, and children write who owns it: It is the hen's egg. On one page they circle the word that fits, dog's or dogs, so they look for the apostrophe. On one page they find the possessive noun in sentences such as The cats nap on the dog's bed, where cats means more than one and dog's shows who owns the bed.

In the Classroom

Hold up things from around the room and say whose each one is: this is Sam's pencil, this is the teacher's desk. Write a few on the board and circle the apostrophe and the s each time.

At Home

Point to things at home and ask whose they are: Dad's shoes, the cat's bowl, my bed. Write one or two together on a sticky note.

Tips for Success

  • A possessive noun shows who owns something
  • Add an apostrophe and s: dog's
  • Dogs with no apostrophe means more than one dog
  • Names take 's too: Mom's, Sam's
  • Check the answer key
