✏️ Are your students struggling with TRANSITIONS in their writing? ✏️

✍️ Let's get writing with our Transition Words Anchor Chart! Designed for grades K-6, this resource is perfect for guiding students toward more cohesive and organized writing. Works for narratives, sequential and many more writing genres!

The anchor chart includes all essential transition words categorized by their placement in writing, making it easy for students to sequence their writing. It comes with pieces for a larger display on poster board or chart paper, ensuring visibility and accessibility for whole-class instruction. We've also included a guide for creating the anchor chart, making it effortless for teachers to set up and use in their classrooms.

Student Versions:

Enhance student learning with two versions of the anchor chart.

• ✏️ One version mirrors the teacher anchor chart, providing a reference point during independent writing tasks.
• ✏️ The second version maintains the same content but arranges it slightly differently, offering students an enlarged version.

Versatile and easy to use, our student versions are designed to support students in becoming independent and proficient writers. Whether it's for writing folders, small group activities, or individual reference, these student versions cater to varying learning styles and needs within your classroom.

Benefits:

• ✍️ Improved Writing Skills: By understanding and utilizing transition words effectively, students will enhance the coherence and flow of their writing.

I even have students work in pairs, so I split the points they earn between them!

The rubric I use assesses the following:
