Apostrophe Contractions and Possessive Nouns Worksheet

In this worksheet, students will match, choose, combine, and identify words within sentences that need apostrophes. This apostrophe worksheet is best used as part of your punctuation lesson for independent review and practice. It can also be used as a pre-lesson knowledge assessment to see what students already know. 

Challenge fast finishers to come up with their own questions for each section of the worksheet. If you have students struggling with the concepts, assign students to work with a partner or take one or two items off each section.
