This learning resource focuses on understanding contractions, which are shorter ways of writing or saying two words combined. Students will learn to decode (identify the original words) and encode (combine the words into a contraction) various contractions through guided examples and independent practice. The resource explains how contractions work, the role of the apostrophe as a placeholder for missing letters, and provides a variety of exercises to reinforce these concepts.
