Sentence Beginnings and the Pronoun I — Kindergarten

Learning to capitalize the first word of every sentence and the pronoun I are two of the earliest capitalization rules a young writer needs. This worksheet gives kindergarteners focused practice at the recognition level: in the first part, students circle words that need capital letters in short sentences, and in the second part they sort sentences by the rule that applies. Both exercises use high-frequency vocabulary about familiar topics — pets, family, weather, and school — so the words never get in the way of the grammar focus. Use this sheet alongside shared reading or a morning message, pointing to sentence-starting capitals and the word I in real books. No independent writing is required, making this suitable for whole-class lessons, small groups, or center work.
