understand that apostrophes signal missing letters in contractions, and apostrophes are used to show singular and plural possession

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using apostrophes to create contractions; for example, “do not” – “don't”, “will not” – “won’t” and “o’clock – of the clock”
• using apostrophes to show singular possession; for example, “my friend’s book” and “the princess’s shoe”
• using apostrophes to show plural possession; for example, “the bees’ hive” and the “princesses’ shoes”
