This capitalization rules lesson for grades 4–9 teaches the 8 most important rules students need for correct writing and test success. Designed for teachers, homeschoolers, and tutors, it includes clear explanations and multiple examples to build accuracy and confidence.

This lesson is mainly for upper-elementary students or secondary students who need review or remediation.

Capitalization is the most basic of usage skills, yet students often do not use it correctly on essays, and very often miss it in standardized tests.

Part of the problem is that there are so many capitalization rules. Or are there? Really, there are only about eight basic rules that will cover more than 98% of situations and will also cover you in virtually all standardized tests questions.

This lesson contains the eight most commonly-used capitalization rules, complete with multiple examples for each one.

• Focuses on the rules that matter most

• Supports both instruction and review

PERFECT FOR:

• Upper elementary and middle school classrooms (grades 4–9)
