    Punctuation is important for understanding meaning when reading. Without punctuation, a passage describing a boy waking up in sand dunes and looking for something could be misinterpreted. Proper punctuation divides the passage into sentences to clarify that the boy is blinking to adjust to the sunlight, rubbing his eyes, and then grinning and running off when he spots what he was looking for on the horizon.

    Use punctuation to read for meaning

    The sand dunes shimmered in the early morning sunlight, slowly


    and tentatively, a boy of about ten years unfurled his body rubbing
    grit and dust from his eyes, he blinked as if unused to sunlight,
    shading his eyes with his arms!

    where are you he rasped frantically scanning the horizon suddenly


    he grinned, clapping his delicate green hands together in delight
    and darted off in the direction of his gaze.
