The Punctuation Workbook, Grades 3-5 (Paperback)

Get to know the punctuation marks with character-based instruction, engaging practice worksheets, dynamic writing prompts and exercises, and quizzes to check comprehension. Based on the revolutionary Grammaropolis approach, this skill-building workbook makes learning grammar fun! Let tender-hearted Officer Period, no-nonsense Chief Comma, and police dogs Hyphen and Dash show you the ropes as you learn how to punctuate, abbreviate, and capitalize your writing properly and keep those sentences running smoothly. Our story-based approach combines traditional instruction with original narrative content, appealing to different learning styles and encouraging students to make a deeper connection with twelve punctuation marks: periods, question marks, exclamation marks, commas, hyphens, dashes, semicolons, colons, quotation marks, apostrophes, parentheses, and brackets. (Plus bonus sections on capitalization and abbreviation!) The ultimate goal of learning grammar and punctuation isn't to do well on worksheets and quizzes, though, which is why we've included sentence and paragraph writing exercises to put every grammatical concept into practice. Aligned to Common Core and state standards.
