Tell, ask, or shout
Every sentence ends with a mark that matches its meaning. Telling gets a period, asking gets a question mark, and strong feeling gets an exclamation point. Set 2 mixes longer sentences and short passages so students practice switching between the three.
How to use it
Read the sentence aloud and ask yourself: Is it telling, asking, or excited? That answer picks the mark. Review set 1 and add commas in a series for more sentence skills.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Read each sentence aloud and ask: is it telling, asking, or feeling strongly? Let students hear the difference before they write the mark.
🏠 Parent note
Say the sentence with feeling. If it goes up at the end, it is a question; if it is excited, it gets an exclamation point.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Using a period for a question
- Using an exclamation point for every sentence
