Capital Letters and Full Stops SATs Style Questions

KS2Gems offers a valuable resource for primary school students preparing for their SATs with a set of five questions focused on the correct use of capital letters and full stops. These questions are designed to emulate the style found in past SATs papers, providing an authentic practice experience for students. The exercises serve as an excellent tool for teachers to assess students' understanding of Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling (GPS) and can be used as a starter activity for both knowledge assessment and retrieval practice. Answers to each question are conveniently provided on the slide that follows the question, allowing for immediate feedback and learning reinforcement.

The questions themselves challenge students to identify correct capitalisation in various sentences, such as recognising proper nouns like 'London', and people's names like 'Yuri' and 'Sam'. Another question prompts students to correct a passage by adding the necessary capital letters and full stops, turning a run-on sentence into a properly punctuated text. This exercise not only tests the students' grammatical skills but also enhances their proofreading abilities. By practising with these SATs style questions, students can build confidence in their use of capitalisation and punctuation, which are crucial elements of writing proficiency.
