Resource Collection Effective Writing
Learning how to punctuate speech marks is a vital part of the Key Stage 2 English curriculum. Introduce the use of speech marks to pupils in Year 3 using this engaging Plazoom resource based on the classic text Peter Pan by J.M. Barry. They will learn where and why speech marks, or inverted commas, are used and that direct speech is the exact words that are said by a character in a story.
Illustrations showing speech in a speech bubble and the bubble then ‘bursting’ to leave the speech marks behind can help pupils to visualise where the speech marks should be placed when punctuating direct speech.
Speech marks, or inverted commas, are used when writing direct speech. The speech marks go around what is said within a sentence.
