Both directions of the apostrophe
Contractions click when children see them as a squeeze: two words push together, some letters pop out, and the apostrophe marks the spot. The sheet drills exactly that — each row shows the long form and a line to write the contraction, drawn from the full standard set of 35 pairs: not-words like isn’t and won’t, pronoun pairs like I’m, you’re, and they’ll.
The direction pill flips the task: writing the contraction drills spelling and apostrophe placement, while expanding it back out proves the child knows what the contraction stands for — the skill that stops it’s/its mix-ups later. Ten fresh rows per shuffle, answers in green.
