Keep your class on track with contractions! This reference page includes six lists of contractions, which are organized by the word that is being contracted. For example, the word not is the title of the list that includes words such as aren't, can't, and couldn't. Pass it out at the beginning of your lesson on contractions to support learners.

- Practice with contractions by asking learners to write paragraphs or sentences using at least one contraction from each list
