Teach your class the rules of capitalization with this fun, engaging lesson. Children participate in a learning activity, collaborate with peers, and practice their writing as they learn three specific rules: to always capitalize the first word of a sentence, the pronoun I, and the names of people. To provide added support for young learners, consider making posters of these rules with examples to display around your classroom. This lesson can be applied to the teaching of other capitalization rules as well, making it adaptable to a range of grade levels.
