Year 1 capital letters for names worksheets

Looking for Year 1 capital letters for names worksheets or a ready-to-teach lesson on using capital letters for proper nouns? This complete lesson pack helps pupils learn when to use capital letters for the names of people, places and days of the week through teacher modelling, practical activities and differentiated worksheets.

As the fifth lesson in our Year 1 Spring SPaG scheme, pupils build on their understanding of capital letters by learning when they should be used for proper nouns. Through sorting activities, sentence editing and independent writing, children identify names of people, places and days of the week before correcting and writing them accurately in their own sentences.

What’s included?

  • Interactive Year 1 capital letters PowerPoint with clear teacher modelling
  • Practical Sorting Names and Days of the Week activity
  • Two differentiated Year 1 capital letters for names worksheets for independent practice

National Curriculum objective

This lesson is fully aligned with the National Curriculum English Appendix 2 objective to use capital letters for names of people, places, the days of the week and the personal pronoun ‘I’. The differentiated resources include scaffolded activities to help all pupils identify proper nouns, edit sentences and apply capital letters accurately in their own writing.
