Punctuation Quiz 2

The Y4 Punctuation Quiz 2, created by KS2Gems in 2020, is a quick and efficient tool for teachers to assess the punctuation skills of their Year 4 students. This quiz, consisting of 10 slides, is designed to be completed within 10 minutes either at the beginning or end of a lesson. It serves as a revision exercise, helping students recall and apply punctuation rules they have previously learned. The quiz covers various aspects of punctuation, such as the use of apostrophes, full stops, exclamation marks, and the correct placement of punctuation in sentences and direct speech.

Each slide presents a different challenge that requires students to write on their whiteboards. For example, one slide asks students to identify the name of a punctuation mark used to indicate omitted letters in a contraction, while another slide prompts them to add the missing punctuation to a provided sentence. Other slides involve checking the punctuation in a given sentence, distinguishing between correctly and incorrectly punctuated sentences, and converting a conversation into direct speech with appropriate punctuation. The quiz is interactive and encourages students to actively engage with the content, reinforcing their understanding of punctuation in a fun and educational manner.
