Punctuation in a Pouch
A fun marsupial-themed classroom display to help your students correct sentence punctuation.
Use this classroom display to help your students solve sentences missing the correct punctuation.
Your students will love to place each sentence into the pouch of the matching marsupial!
This resource comes a Punctuation in a Pouch banner, 4 marsupials with pouches, and 40 sentence strips with punctuation that needs correcting, including:
- full stops
- question marks
- exclamation marks
- capital letters.
- Cut out each punctuation pouch and attach it to its matching marsupial with glue or tape.
- Provide students with one or more sentence strips and ask them to place it in its matching pouch.
- If a sentence has more than one pouch, re-write the sentence on another strip to place both versions in their matching pouches.
