About Sentence Sense

Practise capital letters, sentence-ending punctuation and regular plurals with one defensible answer per question. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Recognise where capital letters and sentence-ending marks are needed and form regular plurals with -s or -es.

Curriculum anchor: England English programme of study: Year 1 transcription, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask why the chosen capital, punctuation mark or plural ending is required before moving to the next question. Take a break when you need one.
