Naming Places

Worksheet Description

This worksheet displays a list of place names written in lowercase, which students are prompted to rewrite with correct capitalization. The names include a variety of geographic locations such as cities, states, and countries. Each name is presented on a separate line with a blank line beside it where students can write the properly capitalized version. The example given at the top of the page indicates that the names of places, like “Florida,” should be capitalized.

The worksheet is intended to teach students the proper noun capitalization rule, specifically for the names of places. By rewriting the names with the first letter in uppercase, students learn to recognize place names as proper nouns that always require capitalization. This exercise assists students in developing their writing skills, reinforcing the importance of proper capitalization for clarity and grammatical correctness in English. Additionally, it can help students become more familiar with the names of various geographic locations, broadening their general knowledge.
