Subordinating Conjunctions Lesson
This Year 3 Subordinating Conjunctions lesson covers the prior learning of basic subordinating conjunctions before moving onto the main skill of subordinating conjunctions.
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. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill.
