Through sentence correction, fill-in-the-blanks, rearranging words, and punctuation hunts, learners gain the tools to write clearly, correctly, and expressively.

Why Punctuation Matters in Grammar?

Punctuation marks are critical to understanding written language. They tell us when to pause, stop, ask, or express emotion. For Grade 3 learners, mastering punctuation is important because:

1. It improves sentence clarity and structure.

2. It teaches how to show emotion, ask questions, and separate ideas.

3. It helps children become better readers and writers.

4. It lays the foundation for storytelling, formal writing, and academic success.
