What children learn in Level 49
- Capital letters are big letters. They show where a sentence starts.
- The word I is always a capital letter, even in the middle of a sentence.
- Names start with a capital letter too. Dog is a naming word for any dog. Rex is the name of one dog.
- Mia, Leo, and Rex are names. Cat, cup, and bus are not.
- Try it with a grown-up! Look at a book together. Find the capital letters. Is each one at the start of a sentence, the word I, or a name?
