Capital Letter First for Kids: Start Every Sentence the Right Way (Kindergarten English)

Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Today we are learning a big rule for writing. Every sentence starts with a capital letter. A capital letter is the big shape of a letter. Let's see how it works!

Look at this sentence. The dog is big. The first word is the, and it starts with a big T. That capital letter tells the reader a new sentence is starting.

Here are more. My hat is red. We can run. Sam likes cake. Point to the very first letter of each sentence. Each one is a capital letter. M, W and S.

Here is a special word. The word I, when you talk about yourself, is always a capital. It does not matter where it is. I like apples. Mom and I sing.

Oops, this one is wrong. the cat naps. The first letter is small. Let's fix it! Change the small t to a big T. The cat naps. Now it is just right.

Only the first letter needs to be big. Look at this. tHe sun is hot. That is mixed up! The rest of the word stays small. The sun is hot. Big first, then small.

Now it's your turn. Which sentence starts the right way? we play ball, or We play ball? Pause and try. It is We play ball, because it starts with a capital W.

Great job! Remember, every sentence starts with a capital letter, and the word I is always a capital. Big first, then small. Practice capital letters first in the English Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
