Conjunctions with Your Friends

by Kristen Rajczak

Overview

Varying sentence structure is one great way to make writing more interesting. Knowing how to use the three different kinds of conjunctions is a big part of crafting sentences of varying lengths and styles. Readers will learn the basics of conjunctions, including common conjunctions and when to use them. Examples using everyday situations will engage readers as they are introduced to the rules of coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. Colorful photographs and fact boxes enhance the main content, which supports the common core English language standards taught in the classroom.

Gr 2–5—These books introduce language concepts using common topics to clearly model them. Each spread contains an "On the Write Track" text box that gives more information or additional examples. For example, Sentences explains that, "An incomplete sentence is called a fragment." Conjunctions states that, "Dependent clauses act like a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence." On each spread, large, stock photos on the right page are relevant to the facts presented on the left. Diagrams and charts will help readers grasp the information. Children will be drawn to the clean layout and well-presented subject matter.
