This hands-on activity helps students learn how to build compound sentences using the most common conjunctions: and, but, or, so, and because. Each sentence is split into two parts, and students must read, think, and match them using the correct conjunction word strip.

Perfect for literacy centers, group work, or individual tasks, this activity supports:

• Sentence construction skills

• Understanding of how conjunctions join ideas

• Improved reading comprehension

• Oral language development

• Independent thinking and reasoning
