I Am Learning To Use Capital Letters And Full Stops

I am learning to use capital letters correctly:

I use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.

I use a capital letter for the word ‘I.’

I use a capital letter for names of things.

I am learning to use full stops correctly:

I use a full stop at the end of a sentence.

When I grow up I want to be a policeman because I want to ride a police motorbike.


Reflection:
I am learning to use capital letters correctly
I was able to use a capital letter for the word ‘I.’
I found this easy because when I was year one I learnt to write words correctly.
My next step it to use a capital letter for names of things.

My next step is to read and figure out different graphs.

I am in Tuataras for Reading and we have been learning to use different reading strategies.

I am learning to chunk our words.

I was able to chunk the words.

I found this easy because I am good at my reading.

My next step is to practise chunking trickier words.
