What kids do
“Read each sentence. Write the end mark it needs in the box.”
Printed on the sheet:
- 1. Where is my hat
- 2. I have two sisters
- 3. Hooray, we won the game
- 4. Do you like pizza
- 5. The sun is hot today
- 6. Wow, that is a huge cake
- 7. What time is it
Teacher tip
Read each sentence in a flat, curious or excited voice and let kids hold up a card for the end mark.
How to use it
- Use a colored pencil for every fix so the edits stand out.
- Post an anchor chart of the rule where kids can see it while they work.
- Keep a word wall or a word bank in reach so spelling does not stop the ideas.
Watch for
Kids who fix the sheet but not their own writing. Connect the rule to the next writing task.
Talk about it
- Why does this word need a capital letter?
- Which sentence on your sheet are you proudest of? Why?
Take it further
Have kids edit one paragraph of their own writing for this rule only.
