This second medium-level worksheet focuses on capitalization mistakes and corrections. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank questions that ask why sarah needs a capital S, why Tuesday is a proper noun, and how Lake Michigan differs from lake. Part B is a matching activity where students decide if four sentences are correctly capitalized or contain errors with words like oak street and texas.
Students learn to spot and fix capitalization problems in real writing.
