How to use this sheet
- Read each sentence aloud and listen for the pauses and the tone.
- Have the child give a reason for each punctuation mark: the end of a question, a list, a pause after an opening word.
- Have the child check their own writing for one mark at a time, rather than every mark at once.
- For times, have the child say the hour, then the minutes, with the colon between: 3:15.
Common mistakes
- Putting a comma wherever they would pause, even between a subject and its verb.
- Joining two complete sentences with a comma. Use a period, a semicolon, or a comma and a conjunction.
- Using an exclamation mark for every sentence that is not a question.
- Putting a colon straight after a verb, as in "We need: eggs and milk." The words before a colon should be a complete sentence.
