Edit It Right: Capitalisation and Punctuation Practice for Class 3

 This Grade 3 grammar worksheet helps students learn how to edit sentences using correct capital letters and punctuation marks. It is designed to strengthen essential writing skills by teaching children how to spot and fix common mistakes in everyday sentences.

The worksheet focuses on capitalisation rules for sentence beginnings, names of people, cities, and days, along with correct punctuation such as full stops, question marks, commas, exclamation marks, quotation marks, and apostrophes. Through guided editing practice, learners develop clarity, accuracy, and confidence in written English.

Why Capitalisation and Punctuation Matter in Grammar? 

Capitalisation and punctuation help make writing clear and meaningful. For Grade 3 learners, this topic is important because: 
1. Capital letters show where a sentence begins and highlight proper nouns. 
2. Punctuation marks help express questions, excitement, and statements correctly. 
3. Correct editing improves reading comprehension and writing accuracy. 
4. These skills form the foundation for paragraph writing and creative expression.
