Punctuation Quiz 1

The KS2Gems Punctuation Quiz 1 for Year 4 students is a succinct, ten-slide quiz designed to revise and assess pupils' understanding of punctuation. It is structured to be a quick activity that can be slotted in at either the beginning or end of a lesson, taking no more than 10 minutes to complete. The quiz covers a range of punctuation tasks, from identifying and writing punctuation names to correcting and adding punctuation in sentences. This resource is an excellent tool for teachers to quickly gauge the level of punctuation knowledge retained by their students.

Students are prompted to engage with various punctuation challenges on their whiteboards. These include writing the correct punctuation for given sentences, identifying the punctuation used in a sentence, and creating their own sentences using specific punctuation rules, such as fronted adverbials and apostrophes to show possession. The quiz also includes tasks that require students to choose the correctly punctuated sentence from a set of options and to write conversations as direct speech, demonstrating their understanding of dialogue punctuation. By the end of the quiz, students will have revisited key punctuation concepts, allowing teachers to identify areas of strength and those needing further reinforcement.
