About this resource
Description
A contraction is a short way to write two words. An apostrophe takes the place of the missing letters, so do not becomes don’t and I am becomes I’m. These contractions flash cards help kindergarten through 4th grade students learn the contractions they read and write every day.
The set has 24 fold-over flash cards. One side shows the two words, and the other side shows the contraction. Print the sheets one-sided, fold each sheet in half and cut on the dashed lines, so every card keeps both sides joined at the fold. Show the two words, ask the child to say the contraction, then flip the card to check. A practice worksheet asks students to write the contraction for two words in a sentence.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple directions
- 24 fold-over contraction flash cards (8 sheets)
- Practice worksheet: write the contraction
- Answer key: the full card list
- Answer key for the practice worksheet
Why These Flash Cards Help Kids
First, seeing the two words and the contraction on the same card shows exactly which letters the apostrophe replaces. Second, the cards are grouped into families (not, am, is and are, will and have), so children notice the patterns. Third, quick daily practice builds the fluency students need for reading and for using contractions correctly in their own writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Keep the contractions flash cards on a binder ring at a literacy center. Sort the cards into families, play a quick flip-and-say game with a partner, or ask older students to write a sentence with each contraction. These contraction cards also work well for small groups, morning work, word walls and homeschool review, and they are easy to send home for extra practice.
