This easy worksheet helps second graders spot which words need capital letters and which do not. In Part A, kids sort six words like 'monday,' 'texas,' 'july,' 'dog,' and 'chair' into 'Needs Capital Letter' or 'Does Not Need Capital.' Part B has five fill-in-the-blanks where children supply proper nouns such as Texas, Saturday, and Maria, plus regular words like mat and apples. Part C wraps up with four true-or-false statements, including whether 'dog' always needs a capital and whether days of the week skip capitals. The mix builds careful eyes for capitalization choices in everyday writing.
