FAQ
What are connecting words and how do they differ from conjunctions?⌄
Connecting words is a broad term that includes conjunctions (and, but, because) and transitional phrases (first, next, however, as a result) — 3rd graders learn both types to improve writing organization.
How do connecting words improve the structure of 3rd grade writing?⌄
Using connecting words helps ideas flow logically from one to the next, preventing writing from sounding like disconnected lists and helping readers follow the sequence, cause, or contrast in a text.
What activities are used to teach connecting words at the 3rd grade level?⌄
Activities include choosing the best connecting word to complete a sentence pair, rearranging jumbled sentences using connecting words, and revising a short paragraph to add transitional language.
