What children learn in Level 20
- Nouns are naming words. They name people, places, and things: girl, park, ball.
- A common noun names any person, place, or thing: dog, city, day.
- A proper noun names a special one: Max the dog, the city of Atlanta, Monday. Proper nouns start with a capital letter!
- Your turn! Sort the naming words: common or proper?
- Names of people, pets, places, days, and months get a capital letter.
