In KS1 and 2, pupils are taught to recognise and use a range of co-ordinating conjunctions. Co-ordination is introduced in Year 2 with the conjunctions and, but and or, with further examples taught in KS2.

But how can you support pupils to recognise co-ordinating conjunctions and use a range in their independent writing?

Using the acronym FANBOYS, you can introduce a wider range of co-ordinating conjunctions to pupils in Year 3 and Year 4. This display pack has a visual image that can be displayed in the classroom for pupils to refer to when writing independently. A poster, word mats and pupil-facing worksheets are all included for use in the classroom for pupils to help them to identify co-ordinating conjunctions when reading and use them in their own writing.

What is a co-ordinating conjunction?

A co-ordinating conjunction joins clauses, and other phrases or words that are of the same importance in a sentence to create a multi-clause sentence. In Year 2, pupils are introduced to the co-ordinating conjunctions and, but and or. Further co-ordinating conjunctions are introduced in Year 3. These are for, yet, so and nor.

The acronym FANBOYS is often used to remember the co-ordinating conjunctions.

  • F - for
  • A - and
  • N - nor
  • B - but
  • O - or
  • Y - yet
  • S – so
