If you need a resource to help you teach children how to correctly use punctuation marks, this KS1 Missing Punctuation Marks Test Practice is perfect for you! Featuring a question style that has been used on a past test paper, children must identify the piece of punctuation missing from a sentence. The questions are differentiated four ways to make it easier for you to pitch them to the right level for everyone in your class. To make your marking as simple as possible, we have also included answers for every question at every level.
