About this resource

Description

Possessive pronouns are the small words that tell a reader who something belongs to. Instead of repeating a name over and over, a writer swaps in her, his, its, our, their, or your, and the sentence suddenly sounds natural. Second graders meet this skill everywhere they read, and they need it the moment they start writing more than one sentence about the same person. This possessive pronouns worksheet gives them focused, low-stress practice with the exact words they will use in their own stories, journals, and reading responses.

The page opens with a word bank of five possessive pronouns and five short sentence pairs. The first sentence names who owns something, and the second sentence begins with a blank, so students have to read for meaning rather than guess. A second section asks them to hunt down and circle the possessive pronoun hiding inside a longer sentence, which is a different and slightly harder job than filling a blank. Use this 2nd grade pronouns worksheet as a morning warm-up, a small-group grammar station, a quick check after a mini-lesson, or homework that a parent can support without any prep.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 5 word-bank sentence completions and 3 circle-the-pronoun sentences

There are three reasons this resource works so well. First, the word bank removes the spelling barrier, so students can put all of their attention on choosing the right pronoun instead of worrying about letters. Second, every clue sentence points to exactly one answer, which means a child who reads carefully is rewarded and a child who guesses is not — that quick feedback is what builds the habit of rereading. Third, the two sections ask for two different kinds of thinking: supplying a missing pronoun and identifying one already in place. A student who can do both has really learned the skill, not just the format of one possessive pronouns worksheet.

Teachers and parents can stretch this skill far beyond the page. Try a “whose is it?” game with objects around the room: hold up a backpack and have students answer in a full sentence — “That is her backpack.” Read a favorite picture book and pause whenever a possessive pronoun appears, asking who it points back to. Have students write two sentences about a family photo, using a name in the first and a pronoun in the second. Sorting cards into one owner and more than one owner piles also helps children hear the difference between his and their before they have to write it.
