Stage 1 – Unit 6: Capitals Count Too!

What Students Will Learn

• ✱
  What a capital letter is: a big letter used in special places. 
• ✱
  How capital letters and lowercase letters are different. 
• ✱
  When to use capitals: start of a sentence, the letter “I”, and proper nouns.
• ✱
  How to check writing and fix missing capitals.

My Goals:

• I can read and write capital and lowercase letters.
• I can check my writing and use capital and lowercase letters in the right places.

How the Learning Works

The same sound routines are used throughout the unit to reduce cognitive load and support mastery.

WHY THIS MATTERS 
Capital letters carry meaning in written language. When students understand where and why capitals are used, their writing becomes clearer, more accurate, and easier to read.

Learners practise noticing letter shapes and comparing capital and lowercase pairs. 
Then they learn simple capital rules and apply them by spotting and correcting mistakes in sentences—using consistent routines for confidence.
