~Write & Read the ABCs with punctuation
Ex. ABC? D! EFGHI, JK. L? MNO! PQRST. U! VWXY? Z

~Punctuation Hand Signals
~Punctuation Hand Signals
Allow your child to creatively define each punctuation mark with its' own hand signal. As you read a poem or story to them, ask your child to act out the punctuation with the chosen signals.
~Punctuation Characters
~Punctuation Characters
Practice grammar and creativity by writing a story where all of the characters are different punctuation marks. What characterization will your little learners develop for each of these symbols?
