Kavi's Joining Toolbox
"Little words do big jobs," said Kavi. "A preposition shows the relation — where or when: the owl sat on the branch, between two leaves. A conjunction joins ideas: I flew high, but I stayed careful, so I landed softly. The trick at this level? Pick the exact one — between (two) not among (many), but (contrast) not so (result). Let's choose with care!"

What your child will learn
1Prepositions show relation · conjunctions join
2Each little word has one exact jobTap each card to hear the word and read the exact job it does.
3Prepositions: match the word to the relationFirst ask what the relation is — WHERE (between/among), or WHEN (in/on/at). And watch for words that always keep the SAME partner preposition, such as good AT, afraid OF, interested IN, listen TO, full OF.
4Conjunctions: choose the exact joinDecide how the two ideas connect — does the second ADD, CONTRAST, give a RESULT, give a REASON, or show a SURPRISE? Then pick the matching joining word.
🔍
A peek inside
Pick the exact word: "The prize is shared ___ the three winners." between or among?
three winners → a group of three → among (between is only for two)
Try this at home: between or among: 'The ball sat ___ the two goalposts.'
