Children are rewarded in SAT's for the appropriate use of punctuation but it can be difficult to teach the appropriate use for each.

How to pause - The Oatmeal

The Oatmeal use cartoons and comedy to define the appropriate use of punctuation, if it works for me it'll work wonders for our KS2 children! Click here to take a look at their comic strips.

Keep an eye on the printable resources section, I'll upload my punctuation pyramid soon.
