Common Contractions
FREE
4 sets of word cards for practice reading contractions with pronouns + auxiliary verbs will, would, to have and to be.
Description
Here are four word card sets for practice reading common contractions with the verbs to be, to have, will and would.
Each set includes separate cards for the long forms and short forms– I have and I’ve each appear on their own card. You can play matching or memory games with each set individually or combined with other sets.
To make complete sentences, or to prompt for complete sentences, pair the contraction cards with picture cards such as Emotions (+ to be) or Daily Activities (+ will).
The simple print font is clear and readable for young learners– a style they can emulate in handwriting practice (including the tidy apostrophe).
The border of each flashcard set is a different colour, which makes clean up time easy.

Thank you! By the way the contraction verb “would” is saved as “will”.
Karen –
Yikes! Thanks so much for telling me. I’ve corrected the mistaken links for small, medium and large “would” sets! A couple of the “will” sets were wrong, too. Thank you so so much for letting me know!!
