Having trouble teaching contractions?



    
     Contractions can be very difficult for students to understand and learn to read and apply in writing. This is a great game to help them begin reading and applying them outside of a teacher directed lecture. This is a 2+ player game, and could be conducted as a small group intervention. The kids really enjoy playing this game and it is written in kid friendly language so that they can read the directions on their own and learn to play. I would suggest allowing them to play this game frequently (or a game like it) so that the kids get as much practice with contractions as possible. It is a hard concept for them to understand at such a young age and requires a lot of review and practice. If you don't want to buy this game, you could visit my store and download the FREE contraction matching game. CLICK HERE
