FAQ
Why do students need dedicated practice with sentence-starting capitals?⌄
Even when students know the rule, they often forget to apply it during the flow of writing — repeated practice builds the habit of automatically capitalizing the first word.
What types of exercises target this skill?⌄
Students rewrite sentences correctly, circle errors in a paragraph, or edit a peer's writing — all focusing specifically on the first letter of each sentence.
At what point is this rule solidified for most 1st graders?⌄
With consistent instruction and writing practice, most students internalize this rule by mid-year, though reminders in editing checklists keep it front of mind through the end of the year.
