Grade 1 · Writing · Lesson 9

Punctuation and Periods

A period is a tiny dot, but it does a very important job. It tells the reader: "This thought is finished — you can stop here." Without it, sentences just keep running and running!

What this lesson teaches

1Identify whether a telling sentence needs a period or already has one
2Place a period right after the last word of every telling sentence
