Capital-and-Period Sentence Check
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: checking that a written sentence begins and ends correctly
1
Fix: the sun is hot. Add the missing capital.
2
Fix: I can hop Add the missing period.
3
Circle the first letter and underline the last mark in: We see a bug.
4
Choose the correct version: my cat naps. or My cat naps.
5
Write a sentence about a game. Use the two-stop check.
6
Trade your sentence with an adult. Ask them to point to the capital and period.
- Call the capital and period the sentence's start and stop signs.
- Ask the child to read the words before correcting a mark so punctuation stays connected to meaning.
- Use one quick check after every independently written sentence rather than correcting while the child writes.
