About this worksheet
Every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with an end mark: a period for a telling sentence, a question mark for a question and an exclamation mark for a strong feeling. Names and days of the week, such as Maya and Monday, are capitalised too, and the word I is always a capital. On this worksheet each line shows a sentence written all in small letters and with no end mark, and your child writes it again correctly on the line.
Support sheets use plain telling sentences, standard sheets add questions and names, and challenge sheets add exclamations and days of the week. Read the sentence out loud first so the end mark is easy to choose.
What your child will learn
- Start a sentence with a capital letter
- Choose a period, question mark or exclamation mark
- Capitalise names, days and the word I
- Copy a sentence with correct punctuation
Common Core standard: L.1.2.A

Common mistake
Adding the capital but forgetting the end mark, or using a period after a question.
Helpful hint
Read it aloud. Does it tell, ask or shout? Choose the end mark that fits.
