Teaching dialogue is so tough in first grade, but this makes it manageable! THANK YOU!
Marni S. –
My students loved the challenge of sorting, correcting, and placing quotation marks. A couple of things though, on page 22, it says makrs instead of marks. Also, on the quotation scramble, the green and blue are the same but there is a purple which isn’t on the recording page. They love the activities though!

I used these activities with my 5th grade LD students who are well behind grade level. They were very engaged and the activities were great to reinforce dialogue and quotation marks at a level that they could understand.
