About this resource
Use sentence meaning to choose among contractions formed with is. Students select from a word bank to complete eight contexts, including statements and questions. After filling a blank, ask learners to expand the contraction into two words and read the sentence again to check that it makes sense.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Common written contraction patterns support Ontario Grade2 orthographic work. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
