About this worksheet

Every sentence ends with a mark that tells the reader how to hear it. A period ends a telling sentence, a question mark ends a sentence that asks something, and an exclamation mark ends a sentence that shows a big feeling such as surprise or excitement. First graders often know the marks but leave them out or use only periods.

On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a sentence with its end mark missing, and your child circles the mark that fits: period, question mark or exclamation mark. Every sheet has a mix of the three, in a mixed order. Read each sentence aloud and listen for whether it tells, asks or shows a big feeling.

What your child will learn
