Free Year 1 Capital Letters and Full Stops Worksheet
Children learn the two most important sentence rules: start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. They pick the correctly written sentence, fix sentences that are missing capitals and full stops, and write their own. These habits make early writing easy for others to read and are checked in every year that follows.
