Are you looking for a set of task cards to give students repeated practice correctly placing commas in sentences?

Students draw a task card, read the sentence, and use their detective skills to decide if it needs a comma (or multiple commas). They then write the corrected sentence on their recording sheet. Cards include a mix of comma rules such as separating items in a list, separating adjectives and setting off introductory clauses so students practice applying punctuation rules in context.

What's included:

  • 52 task cards in colour and black & white, each featuring a sentence needing comma corrections

  • Answer cards showing the correctly punctuated sentences

  • Recording template
