Capital Letters
Sentence Skills - Capital Letters
Capitalizing Sentence Starters, ‘I,’ and Names
In This Lesson
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.
