Contraction Construction #1

Can you fix it? Put on your hard hat and get your contractions in tip-top shape with this worksheet geared towards students in the second and third grade! In this activity, learners become grammar mechanics as they inspect and repair tricky contractions. Each sentence features a contraction that may or may not be correctly built. Students will carefully read each sentence, check the placement of the apostrophe, and rewrite any incorrect contractions to make them just right.

This worksheet helps learners strengthen their understanding of how contractions are formed while sharpening their editing and proofreading skills. Practicing these skills will help students become confident and capable writers!
