Lesson details
Key learning points
- The quotation is demarcated with inverted commas.
- The quotation starts with a capital letter.
- After forming a capital letter, you need to lift your pencil to start the next part of the word.
- The letter spacing and letter sizing is consistent so the writing is legible.
- A range of joins will be used depending on which letters are joining to which letters.
Keywords

Quotation - a word, phrase, or sentence that is taken directly from someone's speech or writing and is presented within quotation marks to indicate it as someone else's words

Common misconception
Sometimes children can forget the capital letter after the inverted commas.
As you model, repeat the same words to remind the children that the capital letter comes after the inverted commas. For example, 'Let's start, inverted commas, capital letter, pencil off, lead in...'.
