Description
Help your students with accurate use of linking/transition words for explanatory/informational writing.
The list helps students determine which types of linking/transition words are best suited for time, thought, comparing, location and conclusions.
The list also includes the most commonly used linking words to include throughout their writing. No more guessing!
The reference sheet can support students while explanatory and informational pieces, specifically when grouping like ideas, and developing a way to present the ideas from beginning to end (format and organization of written presentation). Use these transitional words to show order of events and write with complex sentences to link the parts of their writing together.
Example list for time words: after, next, then, eventually, shortly after that
Example list for thoughts: also, if, therefore, furthermore, even though, suddenly
Example list for comparing/contrasting: likewise, as, similarly, also
Example list for showing location: above, against, in front of, across
Example list for summarize/concluding: in conclusion, finally, in the end, as a result
Perfect for student writing offices or as a reference for a whole class.
Each page has 2 sheets for economy printing! :)
Large print included to make a 24 x 11 size poster.
