Description
Quotation marks show a reader exactly which words a character says out loud. This say what quotation station activity helps 2nd, 3rd and 4th Grade students learn to punctuate dialogue with quotation marks, a comma after the speaker and a capital letter at the start of the quote.
Students start with six Character Cards, a dog, a cat, a duck, a frog, a goat and a cow, and twelve Speech Bubble Cards. Each bubble holds something one animal would say, such as Quack! Let’s splash in the pond. Students read a bubble, find the animal who said it, and place both cards on the Quotation Station Mat. Then they write the full sentence on the Recording Sheet, following the example on the mat: The duck said, then the spoken words inside quotation marks. Every bubble fits only one animal, so the answer key can check each match. A 3rd Grade practice worksheet asks students to rewrite five sentences with quotation marks, a comma, an end mark and a capital letter. This quotation marks activity works well in a writing center, a small group or a grammar review.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with prep tips, steps and an extension idea
- 6 animal Character Cards
- 12 Speech Bubble Cards
- A Quotation Station Mat with an example sentence
- A Recording Sheet for five sentences
- A 3rd Grade practice worksheet: add quotation marks
- A speech bubble answer key, plus a practice answer key
Why Kids Love It
- Silly animal sayings make dialogue fun to read out loud.
- Matching each bubble to its speaker feels like a game.
- The mat shows a model sentence, so students can check their own writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read two bubbles aloud in each animal’s voice before students play. Use the say what quotation station activity in a writing center, then send the practice page home. At home, families can write what a pet or a favorite toy might say, using quotation marks around its words.
