Why get the bundle
- A bundle lets children meet each contraction as cards, clips and an assessment, which makes the spelling stick.
The problem
Two words, one apostrophe, one missing letter
Children say 'can't' every day but don't know what the apostrophe replaces. Writing it correctly means seeing the letters that vanish.
Apostrophe in the wrong place
Kids write 'ca'nt' or 'do'nt.' The mark goes where the letters were removed, not between the two words.
Won't is odd
'Will not' becomes 'won't,' which shares few letters. It needs to be memorized.
Confusing similar forms
'We'd,' 'she'd' and 'aren't' look alike. Children pick a contraction that is close but wrong.
Each card gives two words, such as 'do not,' and the child picks the contraction, so the link between the pair and the short form becomes automatic.
What’s inside
30 questions, one per slide.
Students type straight into the box — no printing, no cutting.

Parents & homeschool
Say the pair aloud, then the contraction. Ask what letters went missing. Kids see the apostrophe as a stand-in.
Teachers
A 1st-2nd grade conventions station. Handy before editing, because contractions show up in all writing.
Spelling work
Contractions are among the most common apostrophe errors, so this is a high-use skill for young writers.
Questions
Before you buy.
Which contractions are included?
Common ones, including can't, don't and won't, with other pairs offered as choices.
Does it cover possessive apostrophes?
No. Possession is a separate topic. This one is only about contractions.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PowerPoint file you can open in Google Slides.
Can I share it with my class?
Yes — one teacher can use it with their own students, this year and next. Sharing the file with other teachers needs a separate license.
Do I need Google Slides?
No. The file is a PowerPoint (.pptx). It opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides once you upload it to Google Drive.
