It practises capitalising people, places, days and months — 6 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core L.1.2: Capitalise names and dates, use end punctuation and commas in lists, and spell taught words. The instruction to pupils is “Rewrite each sentence correctly”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.1.2 — L.1.2, in the Language domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Capitals for Names and Dates is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on L.1.2, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Yes. Capitals for Names and Dates, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
