Four worksheets aimed at learning how to accurately punctuate direct speech.

The worksheets are differentiated to cover a range of difficulty levels.

The speech punctuation used includes inverted commas (speech marks), capital letters, commas and end of sentence punctuation (full stops, exclamation marks or question marks).

Different formats of direct speech are given as examples with the reporting clause in different positions, including:
• The reporting clause before the direct speech
• The reporting clause after the direct speech
• Two or more sentences of direct speech together
• The reporting clause separating one sentence of direct speech
• The reporting clause separating two sentences of direct speech

A variety of verbs are used in the reporting clauses instead of ‘said’.

The worksheets can be completed independently or in pairs.

The worksheets are themed around a variety of traditional tales, but knowledge of the stories is not necessary to complete the activities.

Answers to all tasks are included.

All documents are provided as easily editable Word documents and as PDFs.

These activities are particularly suitable for years 4, 5 and 6.
