10Free Possessive Adjectives Worksheets for Grade 1

Start here, before any sentences. Seven rows headed I, YOU, HE, SHE, IT, WE and THEY, and seven words to cut from the bottom of the page and glue alongside. This is the only sheet in the set that shows the whole system at once, so the shape of it is visible before a child has to use it.

Eight sentence pairs with two words in brackets. Tom has a dog, so his dog is big. The first sentence always names the owner, so a child does not have to hold the rule in their head, they just notice who was mentioned and pick to match.

Six sentences on the left, six words on the right, join them with a line. Every word is used exactly once, so the two that children find hardest, its for the cat and their for two people, are the ones elimination rescues.

The top half is handwriting lines with my, his, her and its in dotted letters to trace and then continue alone. The bottom half is four sentences with a blank and no word bank anywhere on the page.

Having traced all four words a few minutes earlier is the only support a child gets, which is the whole reason the two halves share a sheet.

Eight sentences and a word bank holding only my, his, her and its. Our, your and their are deliberately held back so the page does not become a memory test the first time a child writes rather than circles.

The same four words, but each answer now decides the color of a numbered balloon. My is red, his is blue, her is green, its is yellow, and each word is the answer exactly twice.

So a finished page has two balloons of each color. A child who ends up with four blues can see that something is wrong without being told, and goes back over their answers to find it.

Rosa, Milo and Pip the dog, with the full bank of my, your, his, her, its and their, and six sentences that use each one exactly once. Meeting your and our for the first time does not stall the page, because a child sure of four can reason out the last two.

Six sentences describing two characters, but the subject is not repeated each time. Sentence one names Jax, then sentence two just says the cap is red, so the child has to carry him into the next line. That is a real step up from matching one sentence at a time.

A box at the bottom to draw yourself in, with two lines starting my name is and my shirt is.

Eight owners and four columns headed HIS, HER, ITS and THEIR. No sentence, no blank, no context to lean on, just the owner and which word goes with it. A child who has been getting right answers off the pictures elsewhere finds out here whether they have the rule.

Eight sentences, each already filled in, and the child circles Yes if the word is right and No if it is wrong. Spotting a wrong word is harder than supplying a right one, because a child has to hold the sentence against the rule and judge it rather than just find something that fits.

Four are right and four are wrong, and each wrong one is wrong differently. A boy's word for a girl, your where my belongs, my for two people, and his given to a bird.
