Bullet points can be used to break up complicated information into a list, making it easier to read.

For example:

I went to the park and I played on the swings, the slide, the monkey bars, the merry-go-round and the balance beam.

Can become:

I went to the park and I played on the:

• swings

• slide

• monkey bars

• merry-go-round

• balance beam

Top tips!

• Don’t forget to place a colon (:) before the items in a list.

• Keep the introduction sentence so the reader knows what the bullet point list is about.

• You don’t need to include the word ‘and’ in a bullet point list.
