Spelling Contracted Forms

缩写形式的拼写

Spell contracted forms correctly by placing the apostrophe where letters are omitted (can't, didn't, I'll, it's, etc.)

✓ Write 'can't' for 'cannot', 'didn't' for 'did not' with apostrophe correctly placed
✓ Distinguish 'it's' (it is) from 'its' (possessive) in a sentence
✓ Expand a contraction back to its full form and explain which letters are missing

When your child writes a short form like "can't" or "didn't," do they put the apostrophe in the right place to show where letters are missing?
