Learn When to Capitalize: Sentence Starters, 'I', and Names


ELA anchor chart for kids illustrating capitalization rules: capitalizing the first word in a sentence, the pronoun 'I,' and proper names.

Capital Letters

Goal

Capital Letters

In previous exercises, students learned that sentences start with a capital letter. They also learned that the pronoun "I" must always be capitalized. We will review these rules again and introduce the basic idea that names should also start with capital letters. This will help students recognize that their names begin with a capital letter.
