Choose a way

Move the mark

Use letter and apostrophe cards. Build one contraction and one possessive phrase, then explain the different jobs.

Hear, sign and dictate

An adult states the intended meaning and reads both versions. The child points to the fitting phrase or dictates a correction; assess meaning, not speech or adult pen control.

Write and explain

Edit on a blank strip, box the apostrophe and write a short explanation. Independently written joined letters can be observed separately if explicitly taught.
