Year 1 capital letters at the start of a sentence worksheets and lesson pack

Looking for Year 1 capital letters at the start of a sentence worksheets or a ready-to-teach lesson on sentence punctuation? This complete lesson pack helps pupils understand that every sentence begins with a capital letter and gives them plenty of opportunities to identify, correct and write sentences using this important punctuation rule.

As the fourth lesson in our Year 1 SPaG scheme of work, pupils build on their knowledge of capital letters by learning where they should be used in sentences. Through practical sorting activities, teacher modelling and independent writing, children learn to spot missing capital letters and edit sentences so they are correctly punctuated.

The pack includes:

  • Interactive Year 1 capital letters PowerPoint explaining how to begin sentences correctly
  • Practical capital letters sorting activity using sentence cards
  • Two differentiated Year 1 capital letters at the start of a sentence worksheets

This lesson is fully aligned with the National Curriculum and supports the objective to introduce capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences. The differentiated worksheets include scaffolded activities to help all pupils develop confidence in recognising and correcting sentence punctuation.

For guidance on teaching the full unit, explore the Year 1 Autumn SPaG lesson plans.

Explore the Year 1 Autumn SPaG page to see how this lesson fits into the complete Autumn sequence, access planning and assessment resources, and explore the accompanying spelling strand. You can also browse the full Year 1 SPaG scheme to see progression across the Spring and Summer terms.

Every worksheet includes the small step it covers, but no year group labels, making the resources suitable for mixed-age classes, intervention and SEND support.
