No-Prep Commas PPT for Upper Years

Understanding comma rules can be tough in upper years, but our interactive Commas PPT breaks it down into manageable parts. This commas PPT covers essential comma rules, including:

  • Commas in a series
  • Commas with adjectives
  • Commas in an address
  • Commas in greetings and closings
  • Commas in compound and complex sentences
  • Commas in quotations, and
  • Commas in appositives

Each concept is introduced through direct instruction and clear examples, helping students see the correct usage in context. After learning each rule, students engage in multiple practise opportunities to reinforce their understanding.

We have also included a final summative assessment and writing activity to check for understanding.
