Worksheet Preview
Every sentence needs an ending
End marks tell the reader how to read a sentence. A period ends a telling sentence, a question mark ends an asking sentence, and an exclamation point shows strong feeling. The mark changes the whole sound of the words.
How to use it
Read each sentence aloud. If your voice goes up to ask, it needs a question mark; if you say it with strong feeling, it may need an exclamation point; otherwise, use a period. Builds on capital letters.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Telling = period, asking = question mark, strong feeling = exclamation point. Read each sentence aloud with expression to hear which mark fits.
🏠 Parent note
Read the sentence aloud. If your voice goes up to ask, it needs a question mark.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
