This medium worksheet builds knowledge of punctuation marks and capitalization rules. Part A contains nine fill-in-the-blank questions covering telling sentences, asking sentences, exclamations, and proper noun rules. Part B is a matching activity where second graders pair four punctuation marks — period, question mark, exclamation mark, and comma — with their correct uses, including ending sentences and separating items in a list.
It strengthens punctuation vocabulary.
