This resource bank has been compiled to help teachers of English in Key Stage 1 introduce young children to the basics of punctuation in a lively and relevant way: from recognizing sentences to understanding how punctuation can indicate the "voice" of writing. The poster highlights how sentences are constructed and some of the punctuation marks we use. This book is one of the three key strands in the NLS's framework, incorporating grammar and punctuation. There are photocopiable sheets and lesson plans that are structured to support direct teaching of the whole class followed by differentiated group/indiviudal work.
