About the Capital Letters Worksheet

Capital Letters is a focused grammar exercise that teaches students the essential rules of capitalization through a diverse set of vocabulary words. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Capital Letters presents fifteen carefully selected words that help students distinguish between words that require capitalization and those that don't. The worksheet emphasizes two primary capitalization rules: capitalizing proper names and dates (including days of the week and months), while common nouns remain in lowercase.

The worksheet features an appealing layout with words arranged in a clear, easy-to-read format against a soothing blue background. Accompanied by a charming illustration of a pig character on a scooter in a cityscape, the design maintains student engagement while they practice identifying words that need capital letters. The task requires students to underline only the first letter of words that should be capitalized, reinforcing their understanding of basic capitalization rules through active participation and visual marking.
