Use one or more of the flashcards to introduce or consolidate the words, to stimulate longer sentences in whole class speaking activities, alongside other word cards to model sentence building, or for display. The sheets of mini-word cards group the conjunctions, so that you only need to print those you are most likely to require. Make up sets of conjunctions as a frequent-use resource in both speaking and writing tasks – ask pupils to select the conjunctions you wish them to use from the set, or challenge them by asking them to make a random selection. An attractive bright resource, to be used time and time again.
