Part A asks second graders to sort six words — including days, months, names, and common nouns — into 'Needs a Capital Letter' or 'Does Not Need a Capital.' Part B has five fill-in-the-blank questions about days, names, and months. Part C wraps up with four true-or-false items checking whether children can spot capitalization errors in everyday words.
