Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
- Identify the first word and capital letter that begin a sentence.
- Locate the end punctuation (period) in a correctly written sentence.
- Rewrite a lowercase, unpunctuated sentence with correct capitalization and an end period.
Teaching tips
- Use sentences 1 and 2 as a guided example before releasing students to independently correct sentences 3-5, since the task shifts from identifying existing punctuation to adding it themselves.
- Point out that "Mom and Dad" in sentence 4 both need capital letters, since it's the one sentence in the set with two words to capitalize instead of one.
- Use the answer key for a quick whole-class check after students finish, since it shows all five sentences in their fully corrected form.
Skills covered

Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Sentence 4's answer key capitalizes both "Mom" and "Dad" - is that because they're the first word of the sentence, or because of how the words are used?
Only "Mom" is capitalized for being the first word; "Dad" is capitalized separately because both words are used here as personal titles/names addressing a specific mom and dad, not as generic nouns. Worth pointing out, since students often assume only the first word of a sentence needs a capital letter.
