How to teach this

Play ownership out loud with real objects: this pencil is mine, that pencil is yours. The physical handing-over makes the words stick. Keep the set small at first (my/mine, your/yours, his, her) and let the sentence's shape do the teaching: "___ turn" wants my, "the turn is ___" wants mine.

Watch for: The pairs split by position: my, your, her, our, and their sit before a noun; mine, yours, hers, ours, and theirs stand alone. Possessive pronouns never take an apostrophe. It's always means it is (or it has).

Common questions about possessive pronouns

What's the difference between my and mine?
Position. My comes before the thing it owns: my lunchbox. Mine stands alone, usually at the end: that lunchbox is mine. First graders pick it up quickly when the sentence is read aloud, because the wrong one sounds broken.
Which possessive pronouns should a 1st grader know?
The everyday six: my, mine, your, yours, his, and her. They cover nearly everything a 6-year-old says about owning. The rest of the set (our/ours, their/theirs, its) joins comfortably in 2nd grade.
