Punctuation marks used:  , .  ? … !

 

     Locate ending marks and discuss the meanings they add and how our voices should sound to show that these marks are at the end of a sentence.

 

     Practice the length of the pause in one’s voice for the comma (shorter) and the period.

 

 

Consonant blends:

 

breakfast       special

grow               sleep

twigs

 

 

Stress that the ? and ! are also “stop signs for the voice”.

 

     Practice choral reading of pages containing these ending marks, and get voices to reflect their presence.
