Write It Right! Punctuating Letters for Class 2

This Class 2 worksheet teaches children how to punctuate letters correctly, focusing on greetings, closings, questions, statements, and expressions used in friendly letters. Students learn where commas belong after greetings (e.g., Dear Riya,), how to end sentences inside letters, and how to punctuate closings such as Yours truly, or Love, Meera. The worksheet uses interactive exercises that help learners recognize common punctuation patterns used when writing personal letters.

With MCQs, True/False tasks, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence rewriting, and a full-letter editing activity, children practice identifying and fixing punctuation errors while building confidence to write their own letters clearly and neatly.
