How to Punctuate Dialogue Worksheets teaching resource

Consolidate Skills in Punctuating Direct Speech

Punctuating dialogue correctly is quite complicated. Students typically require lots of repetition to master this skill. In this worksheet, students practise correctly adding commas, quotation marks, capital letters, full stops, and other forms of punctuation to the sentences provided. Sometimes, the quoted speech occurs at the beginning of the sentence, and other times, it is found in the middle or at the end.

This worksheet will lay the groundwork for your students’ confident writing of dialogue in their narratives or other text types. 

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!  

Looking for Differentiated Options? We’ve Got You Covered! 

The worksheet comes in three differentiated versions. The reading levels and amount of writing required vary. The easiest level is labelled with a circle, and the levels progress to the triangle and square versions. 

If you wish to modify the resource further, use the editable Google Slides version!  

Easily Download & Print

Use the dropdown icon on the Download button to choose between the PDF or editable Google Slides version of this resource.

Worksheet Overview

When writing direct speech it is important to remember to use other punctuation as well as the speech marks.

For example:

climbing a tree

"I like climbing trees," Billy said.

In this sentence there is a comma after the word 'trees' but before the closing speech marks.

If the order of the sentence is changed so that the direct speech is at the end, then the punctuation is different.

Billy said, "I like climbing trees."

There is a comma after the word ' said ' and a full stop after the word ' trees ' but before the closing speech marks.

If the speech ends in an exclamation mark or a question mark , then that comes before the closing speech marks and a comma is not needed.

"Help!" shouted Emma.

"Can you hear me?" asked John.

If the word order is changed, the sentences look like this:

Emma shouted, "Help!"

John asked, "Can you hear me?"

boy shouting

The first word of the direct speech always begins with a capital letter even if it is not the start of the sentence.

That's a lot to take in, so remember that you can look back at this page at any point by clicking the red help button on the screen.

Let's try some questions now.
