Which Punctuation Mark? Test Practice

Worksheet
An image of the Which Punctuation Mark? Test Practice Resource


Are your class ready to make a mark with their punctuation knowledge? Use our Key Stage 2 Which Punctuation Mark? Test Practice to find out what they really know. This resource includes four levels of challenge that can be used as a differentiated task within your year group, or choose the test that is suitable for your children. Each level of challenge includes three test papers with four questions on each test.

You could use one test per term as part of your ongoing assessment and to show the progress made by each child. Alternatively, you could use all three tests multiple times throughout each year in Key Stage 2 to show progression; it's entirely up to you! There's a handy answer page for each test that can be used by yourself for a speedy marking tool, or give it to the children to use as a peer or self-assessment tool.
