Students master contractions by connecting contracted forms to their original word pairs. Learners draw lines between contractions (can’t, won’t, I’m) and their expanded forms (cannot, will not, I am). Supports TEKS 1.2.B, 2.2.B, 3.2.A (decode words including contractions) and aligns with Common Core RF.1.3, RF.2.3, L.2.2c.
Skills: contractions, word analysis, reading fluency, spelling patterns. Grades 1-4.
