Catch the Conjunctions

This interactive grammar worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen reading comprehension, close reading, and grammatical awareness by identifying conjunctions within an authentic narrative passage. As students read, they highlight or underline coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions, building awareness of how connectors guide meaning, transitions, and relationships between ideas in real texts.

This printable worksheet helps students develop stronger grammar awareness, sentence-structure understanding, and reading comprehension skills. By identifying and categorizing conjunctions within a narrative, learners see how grammar supports meaning and flow in real writing.
