Word Study Capitalization

What’s included:

• 10 lessons covering all major categories of capital letter usage and proper nouns including geographical locations, names of people, holidays, days of the week, months of the year, seasons, structures, bodies of water, events, and peoples and languages
• Examples drawn from global and culturally diverse contexts including figures such as Malala Yousafza, Bob Marley and Mahatma Gandhi, holidays including Diwali, Chinese New Year, Ramadan and Bodhi Day, and locations from every continent
• Varying number of categories per lesson, from 2 to 5, progressing in complexity
• Font carefully chosen so that uppercase I and lowercase a are written in the way children are taught
• Best printed on coloured paper for visual clarity
• PDF format, print and cut

How to use: Children cut out each card and categorise them according to the correct capitalisation rule. Works alongside the Montessori Skyscraper Checklist also available in this store so children and teachers can track progress across all 10 lessons. A wonderful activity for reinforcing when and why we use capital letters in a hands-on and self-directed way.

Perfect for: Montessori elementary classrooms, homeschool families, and traditional classroom teachers working on grammar, punctuation and writing conventions. Particularly well suited for diverse and international classrooms, English Language Learners, special education settings, and neurodivergent learners who benefit from hands-on, visual and multi-sensory approaches to learning. Ideal for grades 1 to 5.
