understand that written language uses punctuation such as full stops, question marks and exclamation marks, and uses capital letters for familiar proper nouns

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using intonation and pauses in response to punctuation, when reading
• identifying different sentence boundary punctuation, when reading
• writing different types of sentences; for example, statements and questions, and discussing appropriate punctuation
