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.

Turns two words into a contraction
Writes can't, don't and won't with the apostrophe in the right place.
- can not = can't
- do not = don't
- will not = won't
- it is = it's
- I am = I'm
- he is = he's
- she is = she's
Who it’s for
Built for the kitchen table and the classroom.
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

Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
