Four pages of possessive nouns. On one page a picture shows one owner or more, and children circle the word that fits: dog's, dogs' or dogs. On one page they write the possessive of the word in the box, one owner or more, with plurals like children and mice. On one page they decide whether the underlined word is plural or possessive, and on one they circle the possessive noun in each sentence.
Teach the two steps for more than one owner: first write the plural, then add the apostrophe. If the plural ends in s, the apostrophe goes after it (the dogs'); if it does not, add 's (the children's). Act it out with one student and then a group holding the same book.
Look for possessives in a favorite book or on signs and labels, and ask: is it one owner or more? Where did the apostrophe go?
Possessive noun pages for one owner and for more: the dog's bones, the dogs' bones, the children's toys. Children choose where the apostrophe goes, write possessives and tell a possessive from a plural.
