Conjunctions Worksheet: Practice with 'and', 'but', 'so', and 'yet'

How to use this worksheet

Read the first sentence aloud with your child, pausing at the blank or bracket where a conjunction is needed. Talk through what the sentence is trying to say, whether it's adding two ideas together, showing a contrast, or explaining a cause and effect, to help your child pick the conjunction that fits. Have your child circle the correct conjunction from the choices given, then copy it into the blank space provided. Continue sentence by sentence, reading each completed sentence back aloud so your child can hear whether it sounds right.
