About these 1st Grade Conjunctions worksheets and activities
In Grade 1, students begin using conjunctions to combine simple sentences and express relationships like cause and effect, sequence, and contrast. Our collection covers coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, so), subordinating conjunctions (because, when, if), correlative conjunctions (both/and, either/or), and frequently used connecting words. Activities include sentence combining, fill-in-the-blank, and writing prompts that reinforce these concepts.
Each worksheet is teacher-authored and scaffolded, with examples and definitions to support independent practice. Students learn to join ideas smoothly, improving sentence fluency and comprehension. The resources are available as printable PDFs for hands-on learning and as digital activities for interactive use on devices. Some resources are free, while others require a Workybooks membership.

Assign as homework or independent practice to reinforce skills, and use the included assessments for review or intervention. The digital versions are ideal for remote learning or paperless classrooms, while printable copies work well for hands-on activities.
