Teaching Contractions Made Easy with Google Slides

Once students learn where to put the apostrophe, contractions are a breeze! That’s where this resource comes in. It is the perfect writing center activity to use again and again with your students to help them get the hang of it. They’ll love it!

This interactive activity makes teaching contractions a breeze! With a drag and drop interface, students will build contractions from their base words.
