Four pages of joining words. Each sentence has a blank and two choices, and only one of them makes sense: The frog can hop, but it can not fly. Every page mixes the joining words, so children have to read the whole sentence before they choose. No sentence is used twice in the pack.
Teach the words as a set: and adds, but turns, or chooses, so tells what happens next and because tells why. Read each sentence aloud with both choices, and let the class vote with a thumb up or down.
Make up sentences together that end with because: I am hungry because, the dog barked because. Then try so: It is raining, so.
Sentences that need a joining word: and, but, or, so or because. Children read each sentence with both choices and circle the one that makes sense.
