Sometimes you write in CAPITAL or big letters. Sometimes you write in lower case, or small letters.

You use capital letters at the beginning of sentences and for the word ‘I’. You also use capital letters for proper nouns, such as days and months and names of people or places.

Questions often start with key question words like what, where, when, which, why and how. A question mark is used at the end of the question.

There are times when you need to be able to read and spell dates and numbers.

Most forms will ask you for some personal details. Here is a typical form.

Short sentences can be useful for things like instructions. Sometimes you need to write in longer sentences to help make your writing flow and be more interesting.

You can sometimes work out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by reading the rest of the sentence.

A dictionary is useful to help you find the meaning of a word or check the spelling of a word.

Scanning a piece of text helps you to find information quickly. It also means that you don’t have to read every word.

Proof-reading means reading through your writing carefully to check for mistakes. Proof-reading will help you to make sure you have written exactly what you meant to say.

Some instructions tell you what you must do. Other instructions tell you what you must not do

Forms are used for recording particular information. You need to understand the words on forms in order to give the correct personal information.

Some long words are made up of several parts - main part = root / prefix = before the root / suffix = after the root

Here are some points about using paragraphs.
