This week’s spellings are connectives that can be used as openers for a sentence related to the previous sentence or paragraph. For example: “The acting in the Lion King was amazing. In addition, the singing was superb!” They have been separated into two groups:
- adding connectives – add more information to the previous point
- reason + result – gives a consequence to the previous point
| LO: connective openers |
| adding connectives |
| In addition, |
| Furthermore, |
| Moreover, |
| Additionally, |
| reason + result connectives |
| Consequently, |
| As a result, |
| Therefore, |
| As a consequence, |
These connectives will really help with the children’s writing next week as they are learning how to persuade someone to do something.
