Shorten It Right! Apostrophes and Contractions for Class 2
This Class 2 worksheet introduces children to the correct use of apostrophes in contractions—shortened forms of two words like “it is → it’s” and “they are → they’re”. Students learn how apostrophes replace missing letters and how contractions make everyday sentences sound natural and conversational.
Through multiple-choice questions, True/False checks, fill-in-the-blanks, rewriting tasks, and a paragraph-based activity, learners practise spotting correct contractions and forming them accurately. With real-life examples and progressive difficulty, this worksheet helps children build confidence in reading and writing contractions without confusion.
Why Learning Contractions Matters?
1. Helps children understand how spoken English becomes written English.
2. Teaches where apostrophes belong in common contractions.
3. Strengthens grammar and sentence fluency in early writing.
4. Helps avoid common mistakes like its/it’s, your/you’re, and there/their/they’re.
