Punctuation marks are symbols used in writing to make sentences clear and easy to understand. They help readers know when to stop, ask a question, show feelings, or separate ideas in a sentence.
Punctuation marks are important because they:
Help sentences make complete sense
Show questions, excitement, and emotions
Keep ideas organized and clear
Improve reading and writing skills
Without punctuation, writing can become confusing.
Grade 3 students mainly learn the following punctuation marks:
Full Stop (.) – ends a statement
Question Mark (?) – ends a question
Exclamation Mark (!) – shows strong emotion or excitement
Comma (,) – separates items in a list
Apostrophe (’) – shows ownership or possession

Grade 3 students learn full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, and apostrophes.
Punctuation helps students write clearly, express emotions, and improve reading comprehension.
An apostrophe shows ownership, such as “That’s my bag.”
Students can practice by reading aloud, correcting sentences, and using worksheets regularly.
Using simple explanations, examples, and practice exercises makes punctuation easy to understand.
