This workbook introduces kids to common and proper nouns. It explains which should be capitalized. Proper nouns should always be capitalized because they name specific people, places, or things. This includes names of individuals like "John" or "Maria," geographical locations such as "New York" or "Mount Everest," organizations like "Microsoft" or "Greenwood High School," days of the week, months of the year, and holidays such as "Monday," "July," or "Christmas." By capitalizing proper nouns, we can distinguish them from common nouns, which refer to general items or concepts, like "city," "school," or "day."
This workbook aligns with English Common Core L.2.2.a and aims to help students refine their English grammar and punctuation skills. It teaches students how to capitalize proper nouns in sentences correctly.
