Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 5: students rewrite phrases such as "the eggs of the geese" with a possessive noun. Page 2: students circle the possessive or plural that fits the picture. Page 3: students write the possessive of the word in the box. Page 4: students decide whether the underlined word is plural or possessive. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.
Teach the two steps for more than one owner: first write the plural, then add the apostrophe. If the plural ends in s, add only the apostrophe; if not, add 's.
Find possessives on signs and labels, such as a store name, and ask: one owner or more? Where did the apostrophe go?
Possessive nouns for one owner and for more, with regular and irregular plurals. Students rewrite phrases with a possessive, place the apostrophe, and tell possessives from plurals.
