Most sheets change with every click. Any other skill prints from its row below. Examples and teaching notes

  • Commas in dates A comma separates the day from the year: July 4, 2019. A weekday gets one too: Monday, June 8.
  • Commas in letters A friendly letter needs two commas: one after the greeting (Dear Grandma,) and one after the closing (Love, Maya).
  • Commas in a series When you list three or more things, put a comma after each one before the last: hats, mittens, and boots.
  • Contractions A contraction squeezes two words into one. The apostrophe sits exactly where letters dropped out: do not becomes don't.
  • End punctuation A telling sentence ends with a period. An asking sentence ends with a question mark. A strong-feeling sentence ends with an exclamation point.
