Storybird Tip #1

Over the next week I will put up some grammar, spelling and punctuation tips to help you with your Storybird Assignment.
Each time I put up tips, you should check your assignment for EACH of these tips.

CAPITALS: Go through your book and correct ALL capitals. This includes at the start of every sentence, names of people or characters and when using I (Eg “I went to the beach”)

SPACES AFTER GRAMMAR: You should have a space after (NOT BEFORE!) every full stop, comma, exclamation mark, question mark and the ’99’ in quotation marks.

SPEECH- This will need a post on its own, but do not forget each sentence involving direct speech needs to start on a new line, and you need a comma or full stop after each piece of speech (as discussed in class).
