Year 2 - Contractions Part 1
This 'Contractions Part 1' spelling quiz asks KS1 children to spell some of the most common contractions shown when combining two words. Possessive contractions will be addressed in Part 2. All these contractions have been taken from the National Curriculum.
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.

1 .

shouldn't
shoudn't

The apostrophe represents the missing letter - in this case, the 'o'.
