A ready-to-print pack for the Year 2 punctuation objective “commas to separate items in a list”.

What’s included (10-page A4 PDF):

In the add-the-commas tasks, every gap between words is the same width, so the spacing does not give the answers away. The pack follows the usual primary convention of no comma before the final “and”, and no task asks pupils to judge the optional “Oxford comma”. Answer lines are sized for Year 2 handwriting (about 5 mm per letter). Picture items are labelled with words, so the pack works in black and white.

Name/date line on pupil pages. British English spelling. Clear, dyslexia-friendly font (Andika). Simple original illustrations.
