Hello, friends! I am SuperLexia, your superhero of spelling and grammar. I love helping everyone use words the right way. Today, let’s learn about something fun called contractions!
Contractions are when we take two words and squish them together to make one shorter word. This makes speaking and writing quicker and easier. To make a contraction, we use a special mark called an apostrophe. It looks like this: ‘.
Here’s a fun rhyme to help you remember how to make contractions: “Drop a letter, apostrophe, squish together, friends forever.”

Goodbye for now, and remember, may words be forever in your favor!
Contraction Hunt: Go on a contraction hunt around your home or classroom! Look for books, magazines, or signs that have contractions in them. Write down the contractions you find and the two words that make up each contraction. Share your list with a friend or family member and see who found the most contractions!
Contraction Craft: Create a contraction flipbook! Take a piece of paper and fold it in half. On the top flap, write a pair of words like “do not.” Underneath the flap, write the contraction “don’t.” Decorate your flipbook with drawings or stickers. Make a few more pages with different contractions and share your flipbook with your classmates.
Contraction Charades: Play a game of charades with a friend or family member using contractions. One person acts out a contraction without speaking, and the other person guesses which contraction it is. For example, if you’re acting out “can’t,” you might pretend to try to open a jar but show that you can’t. Take turns and see how many contractions you can guess!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Today, we’re going to talk about some simple contractions that we use every day. A contraction is two words that turn into one, making them faster and easier to say. To make a contraction, it’s super important to use a punctuation mark called an apostrophe.
This is an apostrophe. Now, when you make contractions, remember this rhyme: “Drop a letter, apostrophe, squish together, friends forever.”
For example:

– “does not” becomes “doesn’t”
– “let us” becomes “let’s”
– “cannot” becomes “can’t”
– “could not” becomes “couldn’t”
