Summary:

In this lesson, students find and mark words needing capitals. The following tips are given individually with many opportunities for practice. Capitalize all parts of a person’s name, including initials and title, but not a profession (Example: Her physician is Dr. Samuel A. Jones, M.D.). Capitalize a family word when used in the place of a name or when attached to a name (Example: Ask Mom or Aunt Sue.). Capitalize a pet’s name but not an animal word (Example: My dog Rufus is a hound.). Capitalize the pronoun I. Capitalize names and words referring to a Supreme Being (Example: I believe in God the Father, the Almighty, Maker of all that is seen and unseen.). This lesson is part of a series, A+ Tips for Capitalization, which covers capitalization rules needed by students in grades 4 through 7. It can be presented as a single lesson, or used for daily reinforcement by covering a tip a day. The lesson ends with a ten question Mimio Vote quiz.
