A comma separates the day from the year: July 4, 2019. A weekday gets one too: Monday, June 8.

Two grades, one set of sentences: both print from the same 60. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    Dates carry two comma rules: one between the day and the year (July 4, 2019), one after a weekday (Monday, June 8). First graders learn where the comma lives, and where it never goes: between the month and its number.

  2. 2nd grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Second graders write dates fluently in letters, journals, and forms, placing commas without stopping to think. The skill is recognizing the two legal comma homes in a date and rejecting the impostor with a comma splitting month from day.
