Commas for Parenthesis

Year 5

Support children in using commas to add extra information clearly and accurately with this complete teaching resource. The PowerPoint introduces the concept of parenthesis, shows how to use commas in pairs and helps pupils identify when sentences still make sense without the added detail. With examples, editing practice and opportunities children learn how parenthesis can add detail or build suspense. The accompanying task sheet reinforces understanding through sentence rewrites, open-ended writing and reflective questions. Ideal for deepening grammar knowledge and elevating sentence construction.
