English Skills for Year 5 Students
With your child in Year 5, the main punctuation concepts they will be learning about are colons, semicolons, parentheses and dialogue.
In addition to developing their punctuation skills, they will improve their vocabulary and reading ability.
Vocabulary
Now that your child is entering Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) of their learning journey, they will be exposed to more complex forms of communication.
They may encounter more foreign language, but with consistent use of these words will build familiarity and their vocabulary.
Spelling lists are a great way of learning new words and finding ways to use them in everyday interactions.

Reading
You’ll find that the further into primary school your child goes, the less they’ll rely on you for guidance, especially with reading.
While they may not be asking for your help, you can still be involved with their literacy by sourcing texts that are recommended for their year group.

Punctuation Use Through Colons, Semicolons, Parentheses and Dialogue
In Year 5, your child will already know about how to use colons and semicolons from their English lessons in the year before. However, they may not know about the uses of parentheses and dialogue!
Parentheses are used to add extra information into a sentence. This extra information might clarify what a word or phrase in the text is referring to.
When writing down what people have said, it is called a quote or dialogue. Speech marks are written around it to show it has been said.
