Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 66
- When someone talks, quotation marks show the exact words they say. They go around the words, like a hug!
- Put a comma after said. Then open the quotation marks, and start the words with a capital letter.
- The end mark goes inside, before the closing quotation marks.
- The talking can come first, too. Then a period at the end of the words turns into a comma.
- Your turn! Tap the exact words Leo said.
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
- 2.L.GC.1.30 — Recognize and use conventional capitalization, quotation marks, and commas to indicate exact words and dialogue.
