Conjunction resources with FANBOYS AND ISAWAWABUB activities and lessons on subordinating and coordinating conjunctions

Conjunctions are an important part of the English language; they link words, clauses and phrases and allow you take a simple grammatical sentence and turn it into a compound or complex one. Coordinating conjunctions, words that connect two or more elements of equal importance, can be introduced with FANBOYS to help pupils draw upon a range of the common examples such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so. ISAWAWABUB can also be used to demonstrate a selection of subordinating conjunctions, which are words or phrases used to connect a subordinate clause to an independent clause. Whether you're introducing conjunctions, focusing on subordinating conjunctions or practising using coordinating conjunctions with your primary pupils, we have gathered together a selection of hand-picked resources to get you started.

Lessons

A range of lessons to introduce conjunctions and explore subordinating and coordinating conjunctions, with interactive demonstrations of structuring sentences and practice tasks to use a range of FANBOYS or ISAWAWABUB conjunctions.
