⬇ Download WorksheetStudents will add an apostrophe and s to a singular noun to show ownership.
Before Q3, pause and ask students to point to the owner in each sentence. In Q5, have pairs act out the elephant and lion scene so they feel the difference between two separate owners versus one possessive noun — this makes the apostrophe feel necessary rather than arbitrary.
- Leo finds a paw print. It belongs to the lion. Fill in the blank: Leo found the _______ paw print near the watering hole. (Use the word lion with 's)
- Which word correctly shows that the track belongs to the elephant?
