Annabelle the Aardvark likes to be efficient by using abbreviations, but she needs help! Students learn what abbreviations are before being asked to draw a line from each word in the left-hand column to its abbreviation in the right-hand column. Students must also rewrite a sentence at the bottom of the page using as many abbreviations as they can. Students learn the meaning of common abbreviations, which expands their vocabulary and supports reading comprehension.
