We teach ending punctuation to help learners understand how to identify the meaning of the sentences they write and see. Ending punctuation helps signal to readers that a thought or sentence has ended. Understanding the features of a sentence will help students further their reading comprehension skills. Additionally, punctuation changes the tone and meaning of a sentence which will help learners to develop strong communication skills.
