This medium worksheet stretches second graders into trickier capitalization and punctuation choices. In Part A, nine fill-in-the-blanks ask children to write January as the first month, drop a question mark after 'Did you see the rainbow,' capitalize Mrs. Smith and the word States in 'United States,' add an exclamation point to 'Wow, that was amazing,' and capitalize Fourth in 'the Fourth of July.' Part B is a four-pair matching activity that links 'End of a telling sentence' to period, 'End of a question' to question mark, 'End of an excited sentence' to exclamation point, and 'First word of a sentence' to capital letter. The work locks in punctuation choices kids make in real writing.
