Commas in letters worksheets

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

A friendly letter needs two commas: one after the greeting (Dear Grandma,) and one after the closing (Love, Maya).

Two grades, one set of sentences: both print from the same 58. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

    Examples and teaching notes

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

    Friendly letters carry two required commas: one after the greeting (Dear Aunt Rosa,) and one after the closing (Your friend, Sam). Second graders place both marks and learn the classic slip to avoid, a comma jumping in after Dear.

  2. 3rd grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Third graders punctuate greetings and closings automatically in thank-you notes, pen pal letters, and emails. Longer closings (With love, Yours truly, See you soon) follow the same rule: the comma waits until the whole sign-off phrase is done.
