What's included?
Targeted Year 2 resources for recognising the subordinating conjunctions 'because' and 'that', extending sentence structure knowledge in line with KS1 GPS objectives. Materials focus on building conceptual understanding of how these words introduce subordinate clauses to add detail or explanation to a main clause. This key small step supports reasoning in sentence analysis and is crucial for achieving national curriculum mastery in complex sentence writing. The CS Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Scheme provides activities for analysing these connectives.
