When to Use a Capital Letter

One of the skills assessed on the MAP Test is use of a capital letter. Students have to find the word or words in a sentence that needs to be capitalized. Here is a quick and easy center activity to practice capital letters.

Write a sentence on a laminated sentence strip and leave off some capital letters (beginning of sentence, I, names, days of week, etc.) Using vis-a-vis pens, have the students re-write the sentence using capital letters in the correct places. Place an anchor chart in the center for support. 

Introduce the activity through whole group, using a pocket chart or on the easel with a chart tablet. Once students show understanding, transition the lesson to the writing center for some independent extra practice.
