This Easy 1 contractions worksheet introduces Grade 2 students to the basic idea that a contraction joins two words using an apostrophe. Second graders sort items into 'is' or 'is not' a contraction, fill in common forms like don't, it's, and we'll, and answer true or false questions. It builds a strong foundation by showing exactly what the apostrophe replaces in everyday contractions.
