What children learn in Level 67

Good writers check their work! When you edit, you look for mistakes and fix them.
Check one: capitals. Start each sentence with a capital. Names of people, places, days, and months get capitals, and so does the word I.
Check two: punctuation. Every sentence needs an end mark. Don't forget commas and apostrophes!
Check three: spelling. If a word looks wrong, say it slowly, or look it up.
Read this note. Can you spot the mistakes?
Here it is fixed: My and On start sentences. Saturday is a day. Because is spelled right now, and there's a period at the end.
Your turn! Tap the three words that need capital letters.
