Introducing Contractions Introducing Contractions defines contractions and supports the concept by offering several examples of how contractions are used in spoken and written language. The video imagery, supported by the voice-over, creates a platform that illustrates how contractions are formed from two words, crossing out letters to be replaced by the apostrophe. Introducing Contractions sets the stage for continued contraction practice and concept development in Understanding and Using Contractions.

Arts in a way that connects them to each other and to real world reading, speaking, and writing. The links for the videos in order are below. Please look for my other videos and share them with others that may find them helpful.
