Does anyone know of any good software or games for capitalization & punctuation? I think this would benefit my nonworkbooky daughter very much. (I know that wasn't really a word, but it just fit, so there. ;) )

I don't have any software/game suggestions, but copywork and dictation work great for capitalization and punctuation!!

You could also give her a sentence and she has to edit it.
For example: her cat, angus, fell off the ledge

She fixes the mistakes. Then you could ask her to write a related question.
She might write: How did Angus fall off the ledge? Then have her add an exclamation: Wow! That was a big fall.

ETA: If she can't remember the rules for capitalization, then make her a mini-office or reference card of some kind that reminds her what should be capitalized. Start the list small, then add to it each week or so, working on the next thing.
