Use It In A Sentence

Signal Words #5

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning aid designed to help students understand and practice using signal words in writing. The task at hand is to identify the type of signal word from a list that includes categories such as addition, comparison, contrast, time, example, and summary. Students must then use each signal word in a sentence, applying their understanding of how these words function to guide the reader through the text. The worksheet has blank spaces provided for six sentences, each beginning with a different signal word, such as “plus” or “although.”

The worksheet aims to teach students about the different categories of signal words and how they can enhance the clarity and structure of written communication. By categorizing and utilizing signal words, students learn to create sentences that clearly indicate whether they are adding information, comparing or contrasting concepts, situating events in time, giving examples, or summarizing points. This practice reinforces their knowledge of signal words and improves their ability to write cohesive and coherent sentences. Ultimately, the exercise prepares students to use signal words effectively in their own writing, contributing to better organization and reader comprehension.
