Apostrophes

A challenging kinaesthetic paired activity that is bound to promote discussion about possessive and omissive apostrophes (and the greengrocer’s apostrophe!).

A very useful 2 page handout with information, tip and two quick exercises (one for omission, one for possession).

A fun way to consolidate the use of apostrophes in contractions. With differentiation ideas.

Two different multi-sensory activities – both make ideal starters.
1) pin-up sentence sorting (choice of generic, IT or beauty cards)
2) apostrophe dominoes.

Apostrophes – another great mind map from Nikki Brown – summarising the two uses of apostrophes along with some useful tips and rules.
