Commas in Dates and Addresses Worksheet, Three Practice Sections
Dates without commas, addresses that run together, sentences that blur city and state: the commas in dates and addresses worksheet breaks each problem into its own focused section.
The sheet opens with a green-bordered reference box that lays out both rules side by side, dates on the left with a calendar illustration and addresses on the right with a mailbox, before students touch a single exercise. That grounding keeps the rules visible while they work through all three sections below.
Section one lists five dates stripped of commas, from January 8 2023 to September 30 2024, and students rewrite each one correctly on the blank beside it. Section two does the same for five full addresses, including cities, states, and zip codes. Section three shifts to a circle-the-correct-sentence format using four options that mix right and wrong comma placement, which makes a useful self-check for students who can add commas but struggle to spot errors in running text. The commas in dates and addresses worksheet moves from rule to drill to recognition, so the session feels progressive rather than repetitive.
Practice placing commas correctly with this commas in dates and addresses worksheet covering five dates, five addresses, and a sentence sort.

Usage Notes
A ballpoint or standard pencil is the natural fit here since students are writing answers on lines and circling sentences, not illustrating anything. A fine liner in a second color works well for self-correction, letting kids mark their changes without erasing. Avoid broad-tip markers near the reference box, as bleed can obscure the example text students need to consult while working.
Printing Tips
Because the text in the reference box runs fairly small, bump the scale to 105 percent before printing to keep it readable for younger students. Standard copy paper handles this sheet without issue.
