Educational "Game" for Child

[Frenchie]

I know there was a thread about video games for kids, but I'm looking for a learning "game". Possibly not even a game. My daughter is a first grader and there are some areas that she needs improvement in. Specifically, punctuation and capitalization in sentences. She knows the general period at the end, or question mark. She knows the first word gets capitalized as well as "I" when it stands alone and names as well. The "problem" is when someone is dictating to her she doesn't get it quite right. This is beyond what is expected of her grade level, but her test results show that was the only area that she really didn't do as well. Does anyone have suggestions for computer games that work on things like this? I want to find something that will hopefully hold her interest since she's doing this as extra. She reads at about mid-2nd grade level and works well on her own. Thanks for any suggestions.

Would this help?

It seems to me that the best thing is just reading. If you see enough printed material, things just start to look "right" or "wrong". But the game might help by making you slow down and think about punctuation.

Reading on her own and time are all she needs.

I like totally agree with Griffin, as usual.
