πŸ“š Topic Summary

Commas are super helpful when you're listing more than two things! Imagine you're telling someone all your favorite fruits: apples, bananas, and oranges. See those commas? They separate the items in the list. You put a comma after each item except for the last one. Before the last item, you add the word "and" (or sometimes "or"). It makes your writing clear and easy to read! Think of them as little breathers for the reader.

Let's practice with some fun activities!

🍎 Part A: Vocabulary

Match the word with its definition. Draw a line to connect them!

Word Definition
  • ✏️ Series
  • πŸ’‘A word used to connect words or sentences
  • ✍️ Comma
  • πŸ‡ A list of three or more things
  • 🀝 Connective
  • πŸ‰ To separate items in a list
  • 🍊 Separate
  • πŸ₯A punctuation mark that looks like this: ,
  • πŸ’ List
  • πŸ“ A number of connected things or events
  • ✏️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks

    Fill in the missing words in the paragraph below.

    I went to the store and bought apples ______ bananas ______ and grapes. Using ______ makes my writing easier to read. Remember to put a ______ after each item in the list except for the last one!

    πŸ€” Part C: Critical Thinking

    Imagine you are writing a story about a trip to the zoo. What animals might you see, and how would you list them using commas?
