About This Resource

Learning to write is a huge milestone for every child. One of the first big steps in that process is understanding the difference between big and small letters. Our capital letters worksheet is designed to make this transition smooth, simple, and fun for young learners.

It is specifically designed for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1. It fits perfectly into Year 1 English Activities and is a great way to support what they are already learning in the classroom.

Who is it for?

We have created this worksheet with parents and teachers in mind. It is ideal for:

Reception and Year 1 pupils who are starting to explore punctuation.
Parents looking for a quick, stress-free way to support English at home.
Teachers who need a reliable morning starter or a follow-up task for a literacy lesson.

If you are looking for more ways to support your child's early writing, you might also enjoy our other EYFS Activities that focus on letter formation and basic phonics.

What will children learn?

Using this worksheet, children will practise the most important rules for capitalisation. In the UK National Curriculum, children are expected to start using capital letters for specific reasons. This resource helps them master:

Starting a sentence: Learning that every new thought begins with a big letter.
Names of people and places: Understanding that "London" or "Sarah" always needs a capital.
The word 'I': Remembering that when we talk about ourselves, we always use a capital letter.
Days of the week: Practising capitals for Monday, Tuesday, and the rest of the week.

By working through these tasks, children build the confidence they need for more advanced KS1 Literacy Resources later on.

Tips for using this worksheet

You can use this worksheet in a few different ways to keep things interesting:

The "Book Hunt": Before starting the worksheet, grab a favourite storybook. Ask your child to point out all the capital letters they can see on one page. Talk about why those letters are big.
Highlighter Fun: Let your child use a bright highlighter to find and mark the letters that should be capitals before they try rewriting the sentences.
Laminate for Reuse: If you are a teacher or a home educator, you can laminate the sheet. This way, children can use a dry-wipe pen to practise over and over again.

We hope this resource helps your little learner feel like a writing superstar!
