Core Language Skills

The main thing that contractions and possessives have in common is that they both use apostrophes. This handy primer explains how to use and form both. It also addresses the common confusion between “it’s” and “its.” Exercises with explained answers reinforce the skills taught. A great way to teach a key topic in the Common Core Language Standards!
