Introduction to Conjunctions Worksheet Pack

A collection of 4 worksheets that aim to improve understanding of conjunctions and build confidence applying conjunctions into sentences. These worksheets are ideal for younger children of primary-age. The worksheet focus on 4 selected conjunctions: and, so, but, because. The focus of the worksheets is on identifying these conjunctions and using them in sentences.

The first 3 worksheets are a collection of differentiated, scaled application tasks. Each worksheet focuses on applying conjunctions into sentences. The task takes a form of a fill-in-the-blank with the options provided. One worksheet uses the conjunctions and / so. The second worksheet uses the conjunction but / because. The third worksheet includes all four conjunctions: and, so, but, because. By providing three tiered worksheets this will enable the sheets to be distributed according to ability whilst still having all pupils complete the same style of task. This way, every student has a maximised opportunity to succeed. Sentences include common phonetic words appropriate for children aged 5-7 to read mostly independently. Sentences feature content relatable to children of this age.

The fourth worksheet is a colouring activity where students are asked to separate conjunctions from other words through colouring. This worksheet is designed to help children identify conjunctions from other words. Ideal for developing understanding of what sorts of words are conjunctions, before a child starts to apply these words to sentences.

Worksheet pack would work well alongside the lesson on introduction to conjunctions also available from this author’s shop.
