Capital Catch

Someone forgot all the capital letters! Every sentence is written in small letters, and your child taps each word that needs a capital: the first word, the word I, people's names, places, days, months and holidays. Then the capitals pop into place.

For parents: what Capital Catch practices
Capital Catch practices the capitalization rules kids are taught in 1st and 2nd grade: the first word of a sentence, the pronoun I, and proper nouns like names, places, days, months and holidays. It pairs with:
Common Core: L.1.2a (capitalize dates and names of people), L.2.2a (capitalize holidays, product names and geographic names), L.K.2a.
Getting the most out of it
- Always check the first word.
- I is always a capital, even in the middle.
- Ask: is it the name of one special person, place or day?
Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
