Practice of capital letters and days of the week
I can correctly form capital letters and write the days of the week.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- Capital letters are used for proper nouns
- Days of the week start with a capital letter as they are proper nouns
- Capital letters are all the same size
- Capital letters sit between the baseline and the ascender line
Common misconception
Sometimes children can think days of the week are only capitalised if at the beginning of a sentence
Model and show examples of the days of the week in the middle of a sentence with a capital letter.
Keywords
Capital letter - the upper case formation of a letter
Proper noun - a specific name given to a particular person, place, or thing
Days of the week - the names used to identify each day in a week
When modelling take time to emphasise that there is no finger space between the letters. They sit next to each other on the baseline to form the word.
