Description
How to Teach Capital Letters
Proper nouns name a special person, place, or thing, and they always begin with a capital letter. This capital letters examples worksheet helps 3rd grade students learn when to capitalize. Days of the week, months, places, holidays, and people’s names all need a capital at the start of each word, and students practice spotting them in lists and in sentences.
About This Worksheet
The worksheet is titled “When do I Capitalize?” In Part A, students read nine proper nouns printed in lowercase in a word box. They sort each one into the correct column: Days & Months, Places, or Holidays, and they rewrite it with capital letters. In Part B, students read four sentences. Each sentence hides one proper noun that starts with a small letter, and students write that word the correct way on the line. Use it as classwork, homework, a grammar center, or a quick check after a capitalization lesson.
What’s Included
- A word box of nine lowercase proper nouns
- A three-column sort chart: Days & Months, Places, and Holidays
- Four sentences to find and fix one proper noun each
- A full answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, sorting words by rule shows students why a word needs a capital, not just that it does. Second, finding a lowercase proper noun inside a sentence builds the proofreading habit students need for their own writing. Third, this 3rd grade capitalization worksheet mixes names, days, months, places, and holidays, so students see many rules on one page.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before students begin, review the rule for each column and brainstorm one example together. After the sheet, have students add two more words of their own to each column, or write a short paragraph that uses one word from every column. You can also pair this capital letters examples worksheet with a quick proofreading game where partners trade sentences and fix the capitals.
