[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think your 8 or 9 year olds could do reasonably well completing a grammar worksheet? Topics: commas in a series, commas in direct address, quotation marks to show speech, proper capitalization, end punctuation. Can they write an address correctly with the right abbreviations, capitalization, and punctuation? And if they can't, what age do you expect them to be able to? Example Qs to correct: 1. no John you cant go to the park today 2. caracas venezuela is a city in south america 3. my address is 152 elm street sacramento ca 94203 [/quote] Most 8-year-olds could do that. I think knowing to put a comma after the name of a city is the rule they often forget.[/quote] And then they have to remember not to use punctuation when addressing an envelope. That will probably come later. [/quote]
