Learning about speech marks - St James' Primary School, Wetherby

We’ve been practising how to use inverted commas (speech marks) in our writing.

Today, we added speech marks into an extract of our class novel: Holes (they’d mysteriously disappeared..!). This was great practice and helped us to understand that the punctuation belongs inside the ‘mini elevens’ and that each time there is a new speaker, a new line must be started.

Check out this animation – it really helped make us to feel more confident we were putting the inverted commas in the right place.
