Unit 4 Word Study and Conventions

By Sydnie Martinez

What are transition words?​
Think of them like road signs! Just like signs help drivers know where to go, transition words help readers understand what happens first, next, and last in a sentence or story.

Transition Words

​🚀 To show order:

• First, next, then, finally
  (Example: First, I brushed my teeth. Then, I went to bed.)

🤔 To show contrast (differences):

• However, but, on the other hand
  (Example: I love chocolate; however, I don’t like dark chocolate.)

💡 To add more information:

• Also, in addition, furthermore
  (Example: I love pizza. In addition, I enjoy pasta.)

📝 To explain a reason:

• Because, since, therefore
  (Example: I wore a jacket because it was cold outside.)
