The word that joins things together. Ollie and his friend, bread and butter, you and me — nine lessons on the little word that makes long sentences possible.
Ollie has a friend. Ollie and his friend go everywhere together — and that is exactly what the word “and” does. It holds two things side by side. Once a child owns “and”, their sentences stop being short and start being stories.
What your child will learn
- Recognise “and” at a glance in any sentence
- Join two words with “and”: a cat and a hat
- Join two ideas with “and”: Ollie ran and Ollie laughed
- Read a five-sentence story out loud without stopping
- Write three sentences of your own using “and”
