This medium worksheet asks kindergartners to sort words into common and proper nouns through nine fill-in-the-blank questions. Children learn that park and lake are common nouns, while Max, March, and the days of the week are proper nouns, and they remember that proper nouns always start with a big letter. They also figure out that girl is a common noun because it does not name a specific person.

A matching activity then pairs everyday words with famous examples — girl with Bella, park with Central Park, dog with Rover, and ocean with Atlantic — making the difference between common and proper nouns clear and memorable for early readers.
