Use me to end a sentence that tells a fact or makes a comment. I also tell you to pause when you are reading aloud. I am CL, the capital letter fairy. Don’t forget to start each sentence with a capital letter. Poof! It was a clear, crisp morning in Punctuation Junction. Super Period sat down in his big, soft chair with a plop. Then he opened his laptop to read the news. “Ahhhhhh,” he sighed. The pleased period began to read, until— “AAAAAARRRGHHH!” The superhero jumped to his feet. “C . . . L!” he gasped. “Look . . . at . . . this!” 5 “Oh dear,” the capital letter fairy said. “What’s happened to the periods and capital letters?” CL read the news story about the big parade in Punctuation Junction. “Does the parade begin at three or four? What is a prize period? Oh my, I can hardly make sense of this at all,” CL said. 6 w o o r r m o n t t e e m a l t hteh lewe i thnpt ocfeeollrrlueirsoo d vctwdeihe t ielrpayls a ,fbinr asegea c adaetobtet nje n uar bsdzehrte zaa aeg hdnndwiaydnduin st cttd hyoaoa wo t teieuk roxiit ntccnmhjiikonarta elygo ye e ff tc vwhfo eoitennnuh t ttreeao co sfwpatuf rnpnitb’iz hstreeie nv m pgeyoe neasrtai tsorf adc t a y e r l d o r “Somebody is trying to spoil tomorrow’s period parade,” Super Period said. “I have to stop them.” The superhero shot into town with CL close behind. First stop was the news office. “Punctuation!” Super Period called out to the reporters. “What happened?” “I’m not sure,” Karen said with alarm. “Without periods, everything’s a jumble.” 8
