Start Right: Capitalizing the First Letter of Sentences for Class 1 

This Grade 1 English worksheet helps students understand an essential grammar rule — every sentence must begin with a capital letter. When children learn to start sentences with capital letters, their writing becomes clearer, more organized, and easier to read. 
At the early elementary level, building correct writing habits is very important. By practicing capitalization in sentences, young learners become more confident writers and readers. This worksheet introduces the rule through fun exercises where students identify, correct, and practice capitalizing the first word of sentences.

1. Every sentence starts with a capital letter. 
2. Capital letters show the beginning of a new idea. 
3. Proper capitalization makes writing neat and easy to read. 
4. It builds strong grammar habits from an early stage.
