Recognising and Using 'or' Lesson

This Recognising and Using 'or' lesson covers the prior learning of recognising and using 'but', before moving onto the main skill of recognising and using the conjunction 'or'.

The lesson starts with a prior learning activity to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning with engaging reasoning and application tasks.
