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)?
