Using the acronym I SAW A WABUB, you can introduce a wider range of subordinating conjunctions to pupils in Year 3 and Year 4.

In KS1 and 2, we teach pupils to recognise and use a range of subordinating conjunctions. In Year 2 2 we introduce subordination with the conjunctions ‘when’, ‘if’, ‘that’ and ‘because’, with further examples taught in KS2.

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

This classroom display pack has a visual image that you can display in your 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 subordinating conjunctions when reading and use them in their own writing.

What is a subordinating conjunction?

A subordinating conjunction introduces a subordinate clause to add information to a main clause (we introduce the term ‘subordinate clause’ in Year 3) to create a multiclause sentence.

We introduce pupils to a wider range of subordinating conjunctions in Year 3, building on the four learnt in Year 2 (because, if, when and that).
