This week during Guided Reading we will be attempting to correctly punctuate a piece of speech.
Remember!
Put every word that was spoken inside speech marks.
Always use a capital letter for the beginning of each sentence inside the speech marks.
Separate the direct speech from the rest of the sentence - usually with a comma.
Use a new paragraph when another person is speaking.
EG: "Miss Ffrench have you seen my favourite green pen?" asked Mrs Robinson.
"You mean this one?" replied Miss Ffrench, waving a green pen in the air. "I've been using it for ages - it's such a good green pen."
Can you rewrite this piece of speech in the comments with the correct punctuation?

Let's give her one more chance decided Miss Seleem Your call replied Mr Right as he went back to watching the football match.
