FAQ
What proper nouns require capitalization in 1st grade writing?⌄
First graders learn to capitalize: names of people (Maya), names of pets (Spot), city and country names (Paris), days of the week (Monday), months (March), and holidays (Thanksgiving) — the most frequent proper nouns in their writing.
How do capitals-and-proper-nouns worksheets help 1st graders proofread their own writing?⌄
Identifying uncapitalized proper nouns on a worksheet trains the visual search pattern students need for self-proofreading — they learn to scan their own writing for names that should have capital letters but do not.
How can teachers use proper noun capitalization worksheets as a writing mechanics assessment?⌄
Dictating a sentence with multiple proper nouns and asking students to write it correctly tests both proper noun identification and capitalization application — a compact, authentic mechanics assessment.
