GRAMMAR UNIT 7: CONTRACTIONS It is time to teach contractions ! My students have come so far with their grammar skills in units 1-6. Our language has improved so much as we have been learning about nouns , adjectives , verbs , adverbs , capitalization , and punctuation .

Fun Activities for Teaching contractions! We use these words so often in our speech, we need to teach how to use the words in writing.
