Does it make sense as it is?

How could we improve it?

• Introduce the comma as a way of separating units of sense within rather than between sentences.

• The comma allows the reader to take a short breath - shorter than a full stop.

Children improve the worksheet version by adding commas in the correct places.

Extension activity
Children find other examples of comma use that doesn't involve lists and consider their purpose.

Plenary
Children read aloud their improved versions and compare with the CBBC Newsround version.
