Academic Connectives Word Mat

About this printable

This printable is a one-page, colour-coded reference that groups common academic connectives by purpose (e.g. Adding, Sequencing, Contrasting) and provides short example sentences. It supports students in drafting, revising, or analysing texts by reminding them which linking words fit particular relationships between ideas. The sheet also includes a brief 'How to use' box with practical tips for choosing and placing connectives.
