This capitalization product contains 16 handwriting practice worksheets that focus on fixing up the sentences by using capital letters at the beginning of each sentence. Each worksheet features 2 passages with sentences that have to be fixed up and written again using correct capitalization. Answer key included! The main purpose of this product is to help students get used to USE A CAPITAL LETTER AFTER A PERIOD. Many of my students used to begin a sentence with a capital letter if they were asked to write a sentence at a time, but they got confused if they had to write a passage or a story. These worksheets really helped them with this skill. The passages vary in difficulty for easy differentiation.
