Assess, Teach, Practice, and Test Punctuation! In a fun game-show format, Punctuation Made Easy will familiarize your students with the importance of punctuation – how it works like a code that tells a reader how to read the words on a page. Students will develop strategies for using punctuation effectively to clarify the meaning of their writing. Intelligent software assesses each student’s abilities and then presents tutorial lessons for those topics where special attention is needed.
