How to do it
- Read the word.
- Is it a name, a day or a month? Then it needs a capital.
- Write the word the right way on the line.
Teaching tip
Ask "Is it a special name for one person, day or month?" If yes, it gets a capital. This sheet is aligned with Common Core L.1.2.
About this worksheet
Twelve words to write. Names, days and months get a capital. Other words do not. Matches L.1.2a.
What kids practice
Every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a mark. A period ends a telling sentence, a question mark ends an asking sentence, and an exclamation mark shows a strong feeling. First graders also learn that names, days of the week, months and the word I always get a capital.
Watch for
- Writing a lowercase i for the word I.
- Forgetting the capital on names of days and months.
- Putting a period at the end of a question.
- Using capitals in the middle of words, like caT.
It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full capitals and end marks guide for 1st grade.
