This Year 6 SPaG Revision Blaster supports pupils in revising how to punctuate direct speech, helping them use inverted commas and other punctuation correctly in sentences.
It aligns with Key Stage 2 content domain G5.7 Punctuation of Direct Speech, making it ideal for SATs preparation.
Why this resource works
The pack clearly explains how to punctuate direct speech, giving examples of inverted commas, commas, question marks and exclamation marks in context. Pupils then practise through progressive exercises that increase in difficulty.
It is suitable for whole-class teaching, small-group intervention or one-to-one support for pupils who need targeted help with using direct speech accurately.

- Revision Blaster 2 – Adding inverted commas and other speech punctuation, and converting reported speech into direct speech.
