  • (L221) Compound Conjunction Sentence Builders: “Yet” (as a stronger alternative to “but”)

    $5.99 including GST

    A perhaps stronger and more formal alternative to “but” is the compound conjunction “yet”. Although not used as frequently as “but” in casual conversation, “yet” is used commonly to contrast ideas in more formal speech (e.g. debating, speeches or presentations) and in persuasive writing.

    In this 23-page no preparation pack, we demonstrate the use of “yet” as a conjunction to communicate contrast, with a variety of scaffolded sentences.

    Featuring pictures and orthography, this pack is designed for people of all ages who need practice in using “yet” to improve their speech or writing (or both).

  • (L222) Compound Conjunction Sentence Builders: “For” (a more formal way of saying “because”)

    Used correctly, “for” conjunctions can add variety to writing, and avoid over-reliance on “because”. Some people – including people learning English as a second language and people with developmental language disorders – have difficulty learning to use “for” as a conjunction. This 25-page no preparation pack is designed to help!

    Featuring pictures and orthography, the exemplar sentences provides focused, scaffolded practice for people of all ages.
