Apostrophes in Contractions | Grammar Task Cards | Perfect Contractions!

By TaughtOught Homeschooling

Students struggle with learning contractions in English grammar because there is so much to remember: What are contraction words? Where does the apostrophe go? What is an apostrophe? What words come together to make contractions? What is the rule for using contractions?

This resource is a one-stop shop for a fully-comprehensive study of contraction grammar activities. Students will learn the rule of contractions in an easy flow format. These self-guiding task cards are broken down into small steps so students can learn independently and grow confident grammar skills. 

NOTE REGARDING DIGITAL TASK CARDS: For use with Google Forms™

Students use these task cards to first clearly identify apostrophes and then contractions. Then, students will learn the rule for turning the words will, is, not, am, are, have, and would into contractions (including exactly where that apostrophe lives!) Once students understand that only the second word of a contraction changes, they are ready to build and break down contractions. After several activities to drill in this concept, students have the opportunity to review what they’ve learned. 

This resource includes:

   ✏ 12 instructional cards

   ✏ 56 color-coded printable task cards

   ✏ 66 digital task cards (with built-in reward system and completion certificate)

   ✏ task cards include contraction review activities

   ✏ fully comprehensive lessons

   ✏ broken down tasks for self-guided independent learning

   ✏ No prep! Simply log into Google Forms_™_ OR print and distribute (laminate for long-term use).
