Phonics books for contractions

This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Teach kids about contractions with my new set of phonics readers!

These free printable books are perfect to read alongside your contractions activities!

(This post contains affiliate links.)

Are you teaching your students how to read and write contractions?

Contractions aren’t exactly a high interest topic, but these funny books will liven them up!

These five printable books are set 18 in my collection of free phonics books. Use them with the rest of my readers, or use this as a stand-alone set when teaching about how words combine to make contractions.

These free printable books are perfect to read alongside your contractions activities!

You’ll find five books in the set:

  • will: I’ll, you’ll, he’ll, she’ll, they’ll, we’ll
  • would: you’d, I’d, he’d, shed, we’d, they’d
  • am, is are: I’m, you’re, he’s, she’s, it’s they’re
  • has, have: I’ve, they’ve, you’ve, he’s, she’s, we’ve
  • not: isn’t, haven’t, won’t, wouldn’t, can’t, doesn’t

Here’s a sample!

These free printable books are perfect to read alongside your contractions activities!

Each contraction is broken down into the words that make it.

This set of books builds on our previous phonics books.  On this page, your child will review the silent e pattern (like), er (her), ea (clean), and ou (house).

On the last page, your child will review all the contractions in the book.

How to print and assemble:

  • Print pages 2-25 front to back (page 1 is my Terms of Use).  I like to use light cardstock to make the books durable.
  • Separate the stack into each individual book.  Each book consists of two pages front to back.
  • Cut across the horizontal center of the pages.
  • Insert the pages into each other, using the page numbers as a guide.
  • Staple with a long arm stapler.

For a picture tutorial to help you put the books together, visit this post.

    Just printed these out and am excited to use them. Though my son is in 3rd grade, I feel these will be helpful when introducing all the different contractions he will run into. Thanks for providing these.

    I have been trying to print the free contractions book, but it won’t let me. I have put my email address in four times and I still haven’t received the books. Thanks for listening.

      Hi Kimberly!

      This is Kate, Anna’s assistant. I’m so sorry you’re having trouble! Occasionally we hear from teachers who can’t receive Anna’s files because their work email has a very strong spam filter. You might have success if you enter a gmail or yahoo address. Then you should check your junk/spam/trash/promotions folders if you can’t find the email right away. I did test the link, and it does work. I hope you give it another try and find success!

    Hi,

    These would be perfect for a student of mine that is having difficulty with the “is” contractions.

    Is there a way you could send it to me? When I click on the free printable box, I get an “unresponsive” message.

    Thank you very much!

    This truly helped my daughter out so much during this whole pandemic and parents having to home school. It gave me a sense of direction on how to help her with her contractions. Thank you.
