Year 3 Identify direct speech and inverted commas
Year 3 direct speech worksheet and lesson pack
Introduce direct speech with this Year 3 direct speech lesson pack, part of our Year 3 Autumn SPaG scheme. Children learn to identify direct speech within sentences and recognise how inverted commas are used to show the exact words spoken by a character.
This lesson pack includes:
- Year 3 direct speech PowerPoint
- A practical grammar activity with two levels of differentiation
- Differentiated Year 3 direct speech worksheets
Pupils learn to:
- Identify direct speech in sentences
- Recognise inverted commas and explain their purpose
- Distinguish between spoken words and the rest of a sentence
- Read and identify accurately punctuated examples of direct speech
No year groups are printed on our resources, making them suitable for mixed-age classes, intervention groups and SEND support where appropriate. Each worksheet is labelled with the small step to help teachers track progression.
Looking for the complete teaching sequence? Explore our Year 3 Autumn SPaG hub, where you’ll find all nine lesson packs, planning and assessment resources, and the accompanying spelling strand. You can also download the Year 3 Autumn lesson plans and rationale for detailed teaching guidance.
