A Conjunction Card Match

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 strengthen their understanding of conjunctions by selecting the most appropriate connector from a set of “conjunction cards” to complete each sentence. Through close reading, logical reasoning, and grammar application, learners decide whether a coordinating or subordinating conjunction best fits the relationship between ideas, such as cause and effect, contrast, or time.

Learning Goals

• Conventions of Standard English: Conjunction Use (Grades 5-7) – Students apply correct conjunctions to complete sentences clearly and accurately.
• Identifying Sentence Relationships – Learners analyze how ideas are connected (cause, contrast, time, or addition).
• Coordinating vs. Subordinating Conjunction Application – Students distinguish between equal and dependent clause connections.
• Reading for Meaning and Logical Fit – The activity reinforces careful reading to ensure sentences make sense as a whole.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with upper-elementary and middle school ELA grammar standards.
• Interactive Card-Style Choice – The “conjunction cards” format makes grammar practice engaging and concrete.
• Supports Fluency Checking – Reading sentences aloud after completion encourages self-monitoring and clarity.
• Flexible Use – Ideal for grammar lessons, small groups, independent practice, literacy centers, or review.

This conjunction card match worksheet supports grammar mastery, sentence comprehension, and logical thinking. By choosing conjunctions that best connect ideas, students gain confidence understanding how sentences are structured and how meaning is shaped through connectors. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool language arts setting, this printable provides focused, no-prep practice that strengthens both grammar accuracy and reading comprehension.
