The best way to support your child with grammar and punctuation is to talk about it in an everyday context.

• Whilst reading with your child, pause to consider the effect of the punctuation in a sentence.
• Ask your child to be your teacher! Which grammatical skill have they been learning about, can they teach you how to use it and why?
• Look for funny examples of grammar/punctuation gone wrong e.g.

There are also a number of high quality websites and apps which support the subject knowledge and teaching of grammar and punctuation:
