Transitional Words and Phrases (Keep this handy)
Students often need a reminder to add transitional words and phrases to their writing. But, like me, I know you are tired of reading First, Next, Finally. Why not offer them a variety of choices. Use this cheat sheet while teaching or print out and distribute. In the end, you'll cry tears of joy when your students actually use and spell the word consequently correctly.
