A contraction is a shortened form of two words, often a pronoun and a verb (I + am = I’m) or a verb and the word not (is + not = isn’t), where an apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter or letters.
Word study of contraction word lists for Grades 1 and 2 focuses on contractions that simply combine the two words with an apostrophe in place of the missing “o”. Irregular contractions, such as will + not = won’t and can + not = can’t, are introduced in Grade 3.
When building vocabulary, contraction practice in the classroom is important to building conversational skills as well as writing skills.
The focus in second grade is on pronoun contractions. (I + will = I’ll, you + will = you’ll, I + am = I’m, etc.) Students learn that an apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter or letters to become a contraction.
