Capitalization Practice

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered on the capitalization aspect of writing conventions, specifically focusing on the months of the year and days of the week. It lists the names of the twelve months and the seven days in lowercase letters. Students are instructed to rewrite each word with the correct capitalization, providing lines next to each word for their corrected versions. The task helps students practice the specific rule that the days of the week and months of the year always begin with capital letters.

The purpose of this worksheet is to reinforce the capitalization rule that months of the year and days of the week are proper nouns and, as such, should always be capitalized. It teaches students to recognize and apply this rule in their writing, ensuring they understand these words are not just common nouns. By actively rewriting each word with its initial letter capitalized, students are practicing the habit of correctly formatting these words in any context. This exercise serves to solidify their understanding and help them to remember to always capitalize these particular words in their written work.
