Curriculum anchor: England English programme of study: selected Years 1–2 activities; partial support only.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Apostrophe Workshop provides guided Year 2 practice typing contractions from supplied expansions, placing apostrophes for stated singular owners, distinguishing contraction from possession in complete sentences, and choosing it’s or its in supplied contexts. It offers partial support for contracted forms and singular possession, with optional harder contraction practice following the Year 1 reading activity. It does not assess plural possession, every contraction or expansion, capitalisation, independent sentence composition, handwriting or complete apostrophe mastery. Take a break when you need one.
