Building better sentences - French conjunctions - flashcards and mini-word cards

Encourage pupils and students of all ages to create better quality sentences in every topic area with this visual set of 9 commonly used conjunctions. Each conjunction is presented in a different coloured shape to stimulate interest and to aid recognition and recall. The words are provided as both flashcards and mini-word cards. Use one or more of the flashcards to introduce or consolidate the words, to stimulate longer sentences in whole class speaking activities, alongside other word cards to model sentence building, or for display. The sheets of mini-word cards group the conjunctions, so that you only need to print those you are most likely to require. Make up sets of conjunctions as a frequent-use resource in both speaking and writing tasks – ask pupils to select the conjunctions you wish them to use from the set, or challenge them by asking them to make a random selection. An attractive bright resource, to be used time and time again.
