Reading is the best way to teach proper punctuation. Talk about periods and commas, especially, as well as how dialogue attribution is shown.

Have children identify the mistake in sentences with incorrect punctuation. Read books with them and point out the various types of punctuation. Have them write stories with attention to punctuation. Describe each type of punctuation and its use. Explain how a sentence means something else when you put an exclamation point at the end instead of a question mark.
