Use this Year 1 Using ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘or’ Mixed Activity worksheet to support children with their understanding about using joining words correctly. With three questions in total, children are given the opportunity to choose which sentence uses joining words correctly, complete a sentence using the correct joining word and complete the sentence using a joining word then writing one of their own.

This resource would make an excellent assessment for teaching staff to use to gauge what the children understand about using joining words. It comes with an answer sheet to help with self or peer-marking.
