Transition Words with Your Team

by Kristen Rajczak

Overview

Writing flows more smoothly when writers use transition words. In addition, they make stories more orderly and often provide more detail. Readers will learn the many kinds of transitions and how to use them in a piece of writing. Relatable examples and fun fact boxes will introduce this key concept in an understandable way while supporting the common core English language standards. Brightly colored photographs will keep readers engaged as they move through transition words of addition, comparison, concession, and more.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 2–5—These books introduce language concepts using common topics to clearly model them. Each spread contains an "On the Write Track" text box that gives more information or additional examples. For example, Sentences explains that, "An incomplete sentence is called a fragment." Conjunctions states that, "Dependent clauses act like a noun, adjective, or adverb in a sentence." On each spread, large, stock photos on the right page are relevant to the facts presented on the left. Diagrams and charts will help readers grasp the information. Children will be drawn to the clean layout and well-presented subject matter.
