About this resource

Description

Capital letters tell a reader which words are special. Second graders learn to capitalize the first word of every sentence, the pronoun I, people’s names, days of the week, months of the year, holidays, and the names of real places. This Christmas Capitalization Worksheet gives students a festive way to practice all of those rules at once, using sentences about wreaths, cookies, and December days that second graders already know how to read.

This 2nd grade capitalization worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students read three sentences printed entirely in lowercase and rewrite each one on the solid handwriting lines with every missing capital letter put back. In Part B, students look at four rows of three words and circle the one word in each row that must always begin with a capital letter. Teachers can use it as morning work in December, as a quick review before a writing assignment, or as an independent literacy-center activity while small groups meet.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 3 rewrite-the-sentence items and 4 circle-the-proper-noun rows

Three things make this Christmas Capitalization Worksheet work. First, students do not just spot the error, they rewrite the whole sentence by hand, which builds the muscle memory that carries capitalization into their own writing. Second, every item mixes several rules together, so children have to decide why a word needs a capital instead of following one pattern down the page. Third, the circling section sets proper nouns and common nouns side by side, which is exactly the discrimination that trips young writers up when they capitalize the wrong word.

At home or in the classroom, keep the practice going. Have children hunt for capital letters on a cereal box, a holiday card, or the cover of a favorite book and explain why each one is there. Write a family thank-you note together and let your child be the capital-letter checker. Make a two-column chart on the refrigerator and add one proper noun and one common noun to it every day. Read a page aloud and ask your child to clap whenever they hear a name, a day, a month, or a holiday.
