ENGLISH
Capital Letters for Book Titles
When you read your favourite book, you will notice that the first letter of each word in the title begins with a capital letter. However, some of the smaller words won’t be capitalized, like ‘to’ or ‘in’.
You need a capital letter for all of the main words but not the connecting ones like ‘and’. But no matter what size the first word is, it will always be a capital.
Click here to have a go at a quiz, finding the correct book titles.
Find 5 books at home and write out their titles. Remember those capital letters!
Extra challenge – Can you also find and write the authors name (which also uses capital letters)?
SPELLING
Practise your spellings today by clicking here to play some online games with each of your words.
