Speech Mark Sandwich. By Kelly Ryan Age Range: 5 to 11 To help children remember what and where to put the punctuation when using speech marks, I use The Speech Mark Sandwich.
I have a big, colourful paper sandwich and we take it apart (and later put on display). The 2 pieces of bread are the speech marks, the filling (ham, cheese..etc) is the speech, and the sauce is the punctuation. These are labelled on the sandwich parts. I explain to them that if we do not put BOTH “pieces of bread” around the filling then it is not a complete sandwich. Punctuationsheets. Punctuationposters. Multisensory Grammar Activities.
