About this worksheet
A period is a small mark with an important job: it shows that a telling sentence is finished. Young writers often leave it out because their attention is on spelling and handwriting, or place it after a space as though it were a separate word. Some children add several dots for emphasis. This worksheet narrows the task to ordinary telling sentences, so the child can practice choosing the one right mark, spotting the sentence that is finished, seeing where the dot belongs, and writing a sentence with the dot at the end.
Every question prints the whole sentence, so nothing has to be imagined. Questions and exclamations are not the target; the question mark appears only as a wrong choice for a sentence that tells something. Watch whether your child reads all the way to the end before choosing. A practical editing routine is to touch the capital at the beginning, slide a finger through the words, and point to the period at the end. Repeating that sweep links the two visible boundaries of a complete sentence.
What your child will learn
- Know that a telling sentence ends with a period
- Write a period after the last word
- Notice a missing end mark
- Check a finished sentence
Common Core standard: L.K.2.B
Worked example

Common mistake
Putting a period after the first word instead of after the sentence is complete.
Helpful hint
Read to the last word, then place one small dot right beside it.
