Sentences, Capitals and End Marks

Using short sentences made of the letters and heart words they can read, children learn what makes a complete sentence, start sentences and names (and the word I) with capital letters, choose a period, question mark or exclamation mark, and build sentences with spaces between words.

  • 4 lessons
  • About 60 minutes
  • Sentence check: 6 questions
  • Ways to answer: fill in the blanks, choose an answer, highlight a text, sort into groups and arrange tiles

What learners will discover

  • Tell a complete sentence (it tells who or what, and what happens) from a group of words that is not a sentence.
  • Use a capital letter to start a sentence and for the word I and people's names.
  • End a sentence with a period (telling), a question mark (asking) or an exclamation mark (strong feeling).
  • Build a sentence in an order that makes sense, with a space between each word.
