Grade 1 Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Circle the word that needs a capital letter.
Ben and mia run.
Our cat is named pip.
Today I met ana.
We swim on friday.
Our puppy is named max.
We play on sunday.
Today we saw jack.

Capital letters help readers see where a sentence begins and notice important names. In first grade, children use a capital letter for the first word of a sentence, for names of people and pets, for days of the week and months, and for the word I. A child may know the rule when asked directly but forget it in their own writing. On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a sentence whose first word is already correct and in which exactly one other word is missing its capital letter, and your child circles that word.
Support sheets use names and days, standard sheets add the word I, and challenge sheets add months and pet names. Ask: is it a special name or a day?
Common Core standard: L.1.2.A
Today we saw jack. Jack is the name of a person, so it needs a capital letter. Circle jack.
Circling a word because it is important, such as saw, when only names, days, months and I need capitals inside a sentence.
Ask: is it the special name of a person or pet, a day, a month, or the word I?
