This second workbook on contractions reviews the most common contractions that kids should be aware of, such as can't for cannot, won't for will not, they're for they are, I'm for I am, and it's for it is. Understanding these common contractions helps children read and write more efficiently as they merge two words into one smoother, quicker form. Learning such contractions is not just about memorization but also about understanding how words combine to maintain meaning while improving the flow of language.

The last page of this workbook asks kids to choose the correct form of the possessive noun to replace the underlined words. For instance, a phrase like "the bike of the girl" would instead be written as "the girl's bike" to more concisely indicate that the bike belongs to the girl. This exercise helps kids recognize possessive nouns, streamlines sentences and improves writing clarity.
