Joining with And, Or, But Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade

What your child practices

Joining with And, Or, But is a core 1st and 2nd grade language arts skill (Grades 1 to 2 in Canada), and this set gives your child 59 questions over 6 worksheets. Young learners pick up language rules by seeing many short examples, so each page keeps the directions simple and the examples close to everyday speech. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. The skill matches Common Core L.1.1j, the standard for using grammar correctly in writing and speaking. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 1. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. New to the idea? Watch the Joining with And, Or, But video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Read each direction aloud. At this age the skill matters more than reading the instructions.
• Turn a mistake into a mini lesson: fix it together and write one new example.
• Have your child find one example of Joining with And, Or, But in a book you are already reading together.
