Fun and educational worksheet from Kids Academy that helps children practice capitalization rules by identifying which highlighted words should be capitalized.

Let's go through each sentence and determine whether the highlighted word should be capitalized or not. We'll use grammar rules for capitalization:

Capitalization Rules:

1. Names of months → Capitalize (e.g., May, June).
2. Proper nouns (like names of places) → Capitalize (e.g., California).
3. Days of the week → Capitalize (e.g., Sunday).
4. First word of a sentence → Capitalize.
5. Pronoun "I" → Always capitalized.
6. Common nouns (like milk, cat, sundae) → Not capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence.

Now let’s analyze each sentence:

---

1. My birthday is in may.
- "may" is a month → should be capitalized: May
✔ Tick M

---

2. I made my own sundae.
- "sundae" is a common noun → not capitalized
✔ Tick s

---

3. Let’s build a snowman!
- "snowman" is a common noun → not capitalized
✔ Tick s

4. It is hot and sunny in california.

✔ Tick C

5. I drink a lot of milk.
- "milk" is a common noun → not capitalized
