Punctuation Pals

As a teacher I found Punctuation Pals to be an interactive and fun way to teach my students how and when to use the appropriate punctuation. The idea of color-coding the punctuation marks was brilliant! The interactive removable/reusable stickers gave the book a hands-on approac that 'sticks' with the reader.

Mr. Period introduces young writers to his friends. There is Mr. Open Quotation Mark, Mr. Closed Quotation Mark, Mr. Comma, Mr. Exclamation Point, and Ms. Question Mark, among others. Each of the friends has a place and Mr. Period explains their function in a fun way. There are stickers of the punctuation marks at the end of the book that will fit in the blanks of the story on the last page. The illustrations bring all the Pals to life. Armchair Interviews says: What a fun way to learn punctuation. There are more than a few adults who need to read this!
