阅读缩略形式

Description

Read and understand contractions with apostrophes, knowing the apostrophe represents omitted letters

Mastery Evidence
  • Read common contractions in text (e.g. 'I'm', 'we'll', 'don't')
  • Match contractions to their expanded forms (e.g. 'I'm' = 'I am')
  • Explain that the apostrophe shows where letters are missing
Assessment Prompt

Does your child understand that 'can't' means 'cannot' and 'it's' means 'it is' — knowing the apostrophe stands for the missing letter or letters?
