Check understanding
- Use a range of causal and logical connectives (consequently, nevertheless, as a result) appropriately across a discursive essay
- Signal a shift in time or setting within a narrative using a transitional phrase or paragraph break
- Link paragraphs using a cohesive device such as a topic sentence that refers back to the previous paragraph
“When your child writes several paragraphs, do they use linking phrases like "however," "as a result," or "on the other hand" to connect ideas smoothly between sections?”
