This worksheet is a great way to teach or assess the concept of taking two simple sentences and turning them into a compound sentence. But that's not all! It also doubles as a way to teach or assess the concept of using the conjunction 'and'! Great for a review of either concept or you can teach both at once!
L.1.1G Use frequently occurring conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or, so, because).
L.1.2 Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.
