- Quotation Marks
Direct speech contains words that are actually uttered by the speaker and are enclosed in inverted commas known as quotation marks, quotes or speech marks. Working through these printable worksheets on quotation marks in direct speech, you need to place a comma after the introductory reporting clause. The end punctuation marks: ? and !, used with a question or an exclamation respectively, must also be placed before the closing quotation marks. Use these guidelines to rewrite the sentences in this set, and punctuate each of the given sentences with success.
These quotation marks in direct speech worksheets pdfs are ideal for grade 4 and grade 5 kids.

This worksheet contains 2 examples of correctly punctuated speech used in two-speaker jokes so that children can easily see the new speaker, new line layout before writing their own.
This is done with Mr Men and Little Miss characters for added interest and easy reporting clause ideas.
I often use this resource at the start of the year in Upper KS2 as a reminder, but I have also used this in Lower KS2 when teaching speech punctuation and reporting clauses.
Steps to Success/WILF is included in number format so that feedback and assessment is easy to pinpoint. eg) Child: I am having trouble remembering STS (Step to Success) 3 can you help me? Or Teacher: I can see a group of you are finding STS 5 tricky. Let’s work on this together.
When I use this worksheet, I go through each STS in my modelled teaching first, playing Beat the Teacher and making deliberate mistakes, before displaying really cheesy two-speaker jokes for children to select from for their independent work. I always laugh at the ideas the children come up with for their characters’ reporting clauses and we always enjoy hearing each other’s work read out.
I hope you find this resource useful. If you do, please could you leave a review? Feel free to make requests for future resources.
