From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Designed to teach commas in dialogue and lists through the I Do, We Do, You Do instructional model, these 32 slides support the gradual release of responsibility, clear explanations and guided practice as students build control over speech punctuation and list structures in their writing.

These teacher slides can be used independently. Note: Where the teacher slides reference printable independent activities, these are available in the full lesson bundle available here.
