Capital Letters for Names - Worksheet

The "Capital Letters for Names" worksheets are educational resources designed to teach students the importance of using capital letters when writing names. These worksheets are part of a collection of English Teaching Resources and focus on the rule that names of people, places, and significant words in sentences should always start with a capital letter. The first worksheet, "Worksheet 1," prompts students to rewrite a list of names correctly, capitalising the first letter of each name. Examples such as "Michael" and "Telford" are provided to illustrate the rule.

The second worksheet, "Worksheet 2," takes the concept further by asking students to rewrite sentences correctly, ensuring that names, as well as the first word of each sentence, begin with capital letters and that full stops are used appropriately. To help students identify which words require capitalisation, the third worksheet includes an exercise where they must tick boxes next to words that need capital letters. Additionally, it includes sentences that need to be rewritten with correct capitalisation. The worksheets also provide answers for reference, demonstrating the correct use of capital letters in names and at the beginning of sentences, as shown in examples like "Alison went swimming on Thursday" and "We are going to Italy for our school trip."
