Rewrite it right
Write a sentence in all lowercase and rewrite it together, stopping at each word to ask "Is this a specific name?" Kids then rewrite one on their own. Saying the reason out loud builds the habit faster than memorizing a list.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
