Contractions & Apostrophe Lesson Plans ✅

A contraction is a shortened form of two words with an apostrophe taking the place of the omitted letter(s), e.g. do not = don’t. Once students learn where to put the apostrophe, contractions are a breeze! That’s where this resource comes in. This apostrophe PowerPoint is the perfect instructional tool to introduce using apostrophes to your young writers.

This teaching presentation includes the following

  • Discussion questions for student interactions
