Worksheet Overview

punctuation

Using punctuation is a great way to create clear meaning for your reader.

From the basic full stop and comma, to the semicolon and hyphen, punctuation ensures that your reader knows exactly what you are communicating.

In this activity, we will be looking at bullet points, hyphens and ellipses.

These types of punctuation have specific jobs and there are rules to follow to use them correctly.

If you are ready, we will get started with the questions and learn more about these types of punctuation.
