Oh, what's this?
Get well soon scoop, love from Max. Oh, Max, this is lovely!
I need to teach you about capitals and full stops.
Let's do it now! Then we can make this card for Scoop really special.
Ok. Capital letters go at the start of a sentence.
"Get well soon Scoopâ is our first sentence. So "get" needs a capital G.
"love from Max" is our second sentence. That means that "love" needs a capital "L". Amazing!
And full stops go at the end of a sentence. Great job Max.
We also use capital letters at the start of someone's name. So there are two names in your card.
We've got Scoop and Max. Wow. You're a really fast learner Max!
He's working! Never mind.
