Capitals, Marks, and Spelling

Aligned to L.3.2 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches

Writing needs correct capital letters, end marks, and spelling. Names and the first word of a sentence start with a capital.

Worked example

'we saw maria on friday' should be 'We saw Maria on Friday.' — capitals on the first word and the name, and a period at the end.

Practice questions

  1. Fix the capital letters in a sentence.
  2. Add the correct end mark to a question and a statement.
  3. Correct one misspelled word using what you know.

La escritura necesita mayúsculas, signos y ortografía correctos. Los nombres y la primera palabra de una oración empiezan con mayúscula.

Ejemplo: 'vimos a maría el viernes' debe ser 'Vimos a María el viernes.' — mayúscula en la primera palabra y en el nombre, con punto al final.
