How to Use This Pack

Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1 and 4: students write the comma after the opening word or part. Pages 2 and 5: students decide whether each sentence needs a comma. Page 3: students circle the sentence with its comma in the right place. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.

Read an opening part aloud and pause. The pause is where the comma goes; move the part to the end and the pause disappears.

At Home

Start sentences with first, next, and finally while telling how to make a snack, and write them with commas.
