Spelling Contracted Forms

English · Spelling & Word Study · procedural

Spell contracted forms correctly by placing the apostrophe where letters are omitted (can't, didn't, I'll, it's, etc.)

What mastery looks like

  • Write 'can't' for 'cannot', 'didn't' for 'did not' with apostrophe correctly placed
  • Distinguish 'it's' (it is) from 'its' (possessive) in a sentence
  • Expand a contraction back to its full form and explain which letters are missing

Check your understanding

When Spelling Contracted Forms writes a short form like "can't" or "didn't," do they put the apostrophe in the right place to show where letters are missing?
