Explain to your students that they will be acting as diligent post office workers, tasked with reading and fixing the punctuation errors in a series of letters.

​

Provide each student with a pile of 24 cut-up letters. Instruct them to choose any letter from the pile to read and rewrite on their worksheet, ensuring that they correct any punctuation errors they come across.

​

Encourage students to pay close attention to capitalisation, sentence structure, and appropriate punctuation marks such as periods, commas, and question marks.

​

For instance, if a letter states, "i want To eat my apple when is it Lunch," students should rewrite it as "I want to eat my apple. When is it lunch?"

​

This activity not only helps students practice their punctuation skills but also reinforces correct grammar usage and sentence formation.
