Punctuation Cards - Upper Primary
The Punctuation Cards – Upper Primary set includes 10 double-sided sentence correction cards designed to strengthen students' editing and proofreading skills.
Each card contains five unpunctuated sentences for students to rewrite using correct punctuation, including:
• Apostrophes (possessive and contractions)
• Commas (lists, clauses, dates, dialogue)
• Speech marks
• Capital letters and sentence boundaries
• Question and exclamation marks
These cards are ideal for literacy centres, partner work, editing rotations, or assessment warm-ups.
