AF6: 

Conventions

 – Write with technical accuracy of syntax and punctuation in phrases, clauses, and 

sentences

• 

The author uses full stops to end sentences appropriately; however, he/she does not yet use question marks, 

which should be introduced at level 2. 

• 

The author uses capital letters for “I,” for his/her own name, and to start sentences; however, the author  

incorrectly uses a capital letter within a sentence on one occasion. 

• 

The author is beginning to accurately use commas in the context of letter writing (e.g., in salutation and  

closing), but not when making lists.
