This worksheet contains 2 examples of correctly punctuated speech used in two-speaker jokes so that children can easily see the new speaker, new line layout before writing their own.
This is done with Mr Men and Little Miss characters for added interest and easy reporting clause ideas.
I often use this resource at the start of the year in Upper KS2 as a reminder, but I have also used this in Lower KS2 when teaching speech punctuation and reporting clauses.
Steps to Success/WILF is included in number format so that feedback and assessment is easy to pinpoint. eg) Child: I am having trouble remembering STS (Step to Success) 3 can you help me? Or Teacher: I can see a group of you are finding STS 5 tricky. Let’s work on this together.
When I use this worksheet, I go through each STS in my modelled teaching first, playing Beat the Teacher and making deliberate mistakes, before displaying really cheesy two-speaker jokes for children to select from for their independent work. I always laugh at the ideas the children come up with for their characters’ reporting clauses and we always enjoy hearing each other’s work read out.
