Remember: A title, a few sentences and a check make a short report. Capital at the start, full stop at the end.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
Busy BeesLeo had a report to write about bees. At first he typed in one long line with no stops, and his Nan ran out of breath reading it aloud. So Nan showed him how a report goes. First comes a title at the top. Then come a few sentences, and each sentence holds one idea. Each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. Leo typed the title Busy Bees, holding shift for each capital letter. Then he typed, Bees visit flowers to drink sweet nectar. Before he called it done, Leo checked his work. He read it aloud, slowly, and spotted flowrs, which was missing its e. Backspace took the letters away, and Leo typed flowers again, this time just right.
