About this resource

Description

Learning to end every sentence correctly is one of the first big steps in writing, and this end punctuation worksheet gives second graders friendly, focused practice with periods, question marks, and exclamation points. Students learn that a telling sentence ends with a period, an asking sentence ends with a question mark, and a sentence that shows strong feeling ends with an exclamation point.

This printable 2nd grade punctuation worksheet is simple to use at school or at home. In Part A, children read each sentence and add the correct end mark in the box. In Part B, they decide whether each sentence is telling, asking, or exclaiming and fill in the bubble. A complete answer key makes checking fast, so it works well for morning work, a literacy center, homework, or a quick review.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 7 add-the-end-mark sentences and 4 sentence-type questions

This end punctuation worksheet helps children in three important ways. First, it builds confidence by breaking punctuation into three clear, easy-to-remember rules. Second, it strengthens comprehension, because students must understand what a sentence is saying before they can choose the right mark. Third, it connects reading and writing, helping young learners punctuate their own sentences correctly.

For even more practice, read a favorite picture book together and point out the end mark on each page. Ask your child to say a telling sentence, an asking sentence, and an exciting sentence out loud, then write each one with the correct punctuation. You can also make it a game by reading the same sentence in a calm voice, a curious voice, and an excited voice to hear how the end mark changes the meaning.
