This worksheet is designed to teach students how to convert two words into contractions, utilizing an apostrophe to substitute missing letters. An example has been given in the first line for clarity. As they work through it, pupils will become familiar with common contractions.

Apostrophe use can be explained to young kids as follows: an apostrophe is a small punctuation mark we use in two ways. First, we use them for contractions to indicate that letters are missing in words. For example, "do not" becomes "don't." Second, we use apostrophes to indicate ownership or possession. For example, "Anna's book" means the book belongs to Anna. This worksheet focuses on contractions that are used to indicate missing letters.
