Capitalization and punctuation practice worksheet for children, featuring sentences about Ben and his dog Max, with illustrations of a boy and a dog.

Of course! Let's solve this editing worksheet step by step. The task is to:

1. Circle the letters that should be capitalized (usually the first letter of a sentence and proper nouns like names).
2. Write a period (.) or question mark (?) in each box at the end of the sentence, depending on whether it’s a statement or a question.
