Capital letters and Full stops.
Capital letters are important punctuation as we use them as visuals cues to help us understand what we are reading, such as at the start of a sentence or for a proper noun. Take a look at the poster below for some more examples of when we use capital letters.
Full stops are another piece of important punctuation that helps us to understand text. Full stops are used at the end of the sentence so that the reader knows that a sentence is complete and has ended.
