Sentence Check-Up

I can revise a sentence by adding a capital letter and correct ending mark.

Let’s get started

Writers reread. Small editing checks make big ideas easier to understand.

Learn together

  1. Start every sentence with a capital letter.
  2. Choose a period for a telling sentence and a question mark for a question.
  3. Read your sentence aloud; check for one complete idea.

Example to explore

we can read → We can read. where is it → Where is it?

Try it yourself

  1. Which is the correct question?
  2. What should begin “my cat sleeps.”?
  3. Rewrite “we like books” with a capital and punctuation.

Hands-on project

Make a 3-step editing bookmark with symbols for CAPITAL, COMPLETE THOUGHT, END MARK.

Reflect and grow

Which edit did you remember without a reminder?
