Kindergarten Writing Worksheet - Building Confidence
Read each sentence. Write it again with a capital letter at the start.
a cat naps.
my hat is big.
the sun is up.
my cup is red.
we see a bug.
the dog runs.
a pig can dig.
we can hop.
A capital letter at the beginning tells a reader that a new sentence has started. Kindergartners often know capital letters in isolation but forget to use one when they are busy deciding what to say, sounding out words, and controlling a pencil. Some children capitalize a word in the middle because it looks important, while others write every letter as a capital. This worksheet isolates one convention. Each line shows a short sentence written all in small letters, and the child writes it again underneath with a capital letter at the start.
Only the first letter has to change, so the child can concentrate on spotting the first word, forming the big letter and keeping the rest of the sentence the same. Support pages use three-word sentences with familiar vocabulary. Standard and challenge pages keep the same rule with longer sentences. A useful routine is to point to the first letter and ask whether it is tall before checking spaces or the period.
