Ponche de puntuación

Explanation:
Es tan sólo una idea.......ya que es el título de una actividad para niños; suena "catchy" y tiene sentido porque el ponche es una mezcla, además se podría pensar que los niños confunden (mezclan) los signos de puntuación y deben aprender a distinguirlos.

puntuación con brío

Explanation:
I believe the word punch is used here in the sense of "punching it up", giving energy or a slight exaggeration to the punctuation in order to emphasize its function in the sentence.

--------------------------------------------------

This is really part of phrasal fluency, the ability to chunk a sentence into meaningful phrases. Then they read a phrase at a time instead of just a word at a time. Giving it a lively tempo helps comprehension as well. That's why I suggest the musical metaphor ( I am a "literacy specialist" in California. )
