This 'Contractions Part 1' spelling quiz asks elementary school children to spell some of the most common contractions shown when combining two words. Possessive contractions will be addressed in Part 2.
Sometimes we can combine two words and turn it into one. If you push two words together, we call that a contraction. Often, when doing this we delete one or two letters and in their place we put an apostrophe. Test your knowledge on these contractions by spelling the missing words.
