- Learning objective
- By the end, your child can start a sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop.
Every sentence needs a capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end. We also use a capital letter for people's names and for the word “I”.
This gentle mission gives lots of practice, one step at a time.
How to use this
- Do it together and say each sentence aloud.
- Lots of praise — this is about building the habit, not perfection.
Mission 1🔠 Capital Catcher
Each sentence forgot its capital letter! Rewrite the first word with a capital.
- the cat sat on the mat.
- we went to the park.
- my name is Sam.
Mission 2⚫ Full Stop Finder
Add the missing full stop at the end of each sentence.
- I like my new bike
- The dog is happy

Mission 3🛠️ Fix It All
Rewrite each one correctly — with a capital letter AND a full stop.
- i like ice cream
- the dog is big

💡 Don't forget: the word “I” always gets a capital!
