About Capitalizing Sentences and Names
What this skill is
Capitalization is the practice of using upper-case letters to signal the beginning of a sentence, the pronoun "I", and specific proper names of people and pets. Capital letters act as visual starting gates for readers.
When children learn it
Capitalizing the first letter of a name and the first word in a sentence is introduced in kindergarten (CCSS L.K.2.a) and mastered across 1st and 2nd grade writing conventions.
Teaching Tips
- Tell your child that capital letters are like green traffic lights: every sentence starts with a green light to tell the reader to go. On worksheets, have them circle the very first letter of every line with a green marker before checking for names.
Common Mistakes
- Writing lowercase "i" when referring to oneself in the middle of a sentence.
- Using random capital letters in the middle of words because of handwriting motor habits.
- Forgetting to capitalize the first letter of a sentence after a period or question mark.
