Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn something exciting about sentences. Do you know what a sentence is? It’s a group of words that tell us something. And guess what? The first word in every sentence needs a special letter called a capital letter!
Once upon a time, we saw a fox. The fox had a big, fluffy tail. He was digging in the grass. Maybe he was looking for some yummy food. He dug really fast! My little sister giggled when some dirt got on his nose. Her giggle scared the fox, and he ran into the woods. I hope he comes back so I can take more pictures. Did you like the story? Foxes are so cute, aren’t they?
Did you notice something in the story? The first word in each sentence started with a big letter, called a capital letter. This is very important! The first word in a sentence always starts with a capital letter.
For example, in the sentence “We saw a fox today,” the word “We” is the first word. It starts with a big “W” because it’s the first word in the sentence.
Here’s a sentence: “He dug into the grass.” What is the first word in this sentence? Yes, it’s “He.” And what do we need to do with “He”? That’s right! We need to make sure it starts with a capital “H” because it’s the first word in the sentence.
Let’s look at two sentences:
Which sentence is written correctly? The second one, “The fox had a fluffy tail,” is correct because it starts with a capital “T.” The first sentence should also start with a capital letter, but it has a mistake at the end. Remember, only the first word needs a capital letter!
You’ve done a fantastic job learning about capital letters at the beginning of sentences. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a sentence superstar in no time! Thanks for joining in the fun. See you next time!
Capital Letter Hunt: Go on a capital letter hunt around your home or classroom! Look for books, signs, or labels. Can you find sentences that start with a capital letter? Count how many you find and share with a friend or family member. This will help you see how important capital letters are in everyday writing!
Sentence Building Game: Use word cards to build your own sentences. Make sure the first word in each sentence starts with a capital letter. You can mix and match words to create funny or silly sentences. After building a sentence, read it aloud to a partner and check if the capital letter is in the right place.
Story Time with a Twist: Choose a short storybook and read it with a friend or family member. As you read, point out the first word in each sentence and say the letter out loud. Is it a capital letter? If not, help fix it by saying what the capital letter should be. This will help you practice spotting capital letters in stories!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

We saw a fox today. The fox had a fluffy tail. He dug into the grass. I think he was looking for some food. He dug very fast. My little sister laughed when some dirt got on his nose. Her laugh scared the fox, and he ran into the woods.

I hope he comes back again so that I can take more pictures. Did you like that story? Foxes are cute, aren’t they?

When we read the story, the first word in each sentence started with a capital letter. The first word in a sentence always starts with a capital letter.
In the sentence “We saw a fox today,” “We” is the first word and starts with a capital “W” because it is the first word in the sentence.
Let’s practice capitalizing the first word in sentences together.
“He dug into the grass.” What is the first word in this sentence?
Correct! The word is “He.”
What is wrong with the word?
That’s right! The word “He” should have a capital letter at the beginning because it is the first word in a sentence.

Now, which one of these sentences is correct?
1. We saw a fox today.
2. The fox had a fluffy tail.
[Music]
“The fox had a fluffy tail” is written correctly.
“We saw a fox today.” This sentence is not correct; it has a capital letter on the last word of the sentence. Remember, the first word of a sentence should have a capital letter at the beginning.
I hope you enjoyed learning about putting capital letters at the beginning of sentences. Thanks for watching! Goodbye!
