Capitalizing Titles Worksheet
- 3rd grade
- CCSS L.3.2a
A free, printable capitalizing titles worksheet for 3rd grade. Your child sorts title words, fixes the capitals in book titles and titles their own stories. Answer key included.
What's inside
- Page 1: sort 8 words into capital or lowercase, then fix 5 titles.
- Page 2: fix 3 more titles, then write titles for two stories of your own.
- Page 3: answer key.
How to use it
- Teach or review the rule first with the capitalizing titles lesson. It takes about 10 minutes.
- Read the directions for each part out loud. Early readers can point while you read.
- Check Part A together before your child goes on, so any confusion gets fixed early.
- Use the answer key on the last page.
Prints on US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). No sign-up needed.
Tips for doing it together
- Keep it short. One page a day is plenty for most young children, and two short sessions beat one long one.
- Let your child read each sentence out loud before answering. Many mistakes get caught by ear.
- Mark a mistake with a small dot instead of an X, and let your child find and fix it. That's where the learning happens.
What your child is practicing
In a title, capitalize the first and last words and every important word. Small articles, conjunctions and prepositions in the middle stay lowercase. Part A builds the short list of small words, which is all your child needs to memorize.

After the worksheet, the 10-question capitalizing titles quiz gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud. For a game, try Syntax Skies.
