Teacher notes

  • Print on card for the wall. Use one poster a week and revisit it in writing lessons.
  • Ask children to find the mark in their reading book and copy a sentence.
  • Rules covered: show missing letters: do not becomes don't; show who owns something: Sam's bag; for plural owners, put the apostrophe after the s: the dogs' bones.
