Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support using apostrophes for contraction. Includes only first person contractions, such as ‘I’ve’, or contractions with one letter omitted, such as ‘didn’t’.
Expected Questions to support using apostrophes for contraction. Includes any regular contractions, such as ‘they’ll’, or irregular contractions, such as ‘won’t’.
Greater Depth Questions to support using apostrophes for contraction. Questions explore instances where the same contraction can represent different omitted letters, depending on context, such as when ‘he’d’ could represent ‘he had’ or ‘he would’.
