Identifying Capital Letters: Lesson 2: The Fantastic World of Capital Letters

Capital letters, those big and bold characters, open the door to a fantastic world of writing. Let’s explore this world together:

  1. Names Everywhere: Capital letters are like name tags for essential words. They shout, “Hey, look at me!” Terms of people (like Tom), places (like Paris), and things (like Superman) all get special capital letter treatment.
  2. Start Strong: Capital letters take the lead at the beginning of sentences. They signal the start of a new thought or idea, making sure everyone knows where one sentence ends and another begins.
  3. Titles and Headings: Capital letters love being in the spotlight. When you see a book title (like “The Magic Forest”) or a sign (like “Exit Here”), those big letters are there to grab your attention.
  4. Teams and Abbreviations: When teams play sports (like the NBA for the National Basketball Association) or superheroes form a group (like The Avengers), capital letters help you recognize them instantly.
  5. Exclamations and Shouting: When we’re really excited or need to get your attention, we use capital letters, like “WOW!” or “HELP!”

Remember, capital letters are like the heroes of writing. They make our words clear, exciting, and easy to understand. So, embrace the fantastic world of capital letters, and let your writing shine!
