Date It Right: Capitalizing Days and Months for Class 1 

This Grade 1 English worksheet helps young learners understand how to correctly write dates by capitalizing the names of days and months. Children learn that words like Monday, Friday, January, and August always begin with capital letters when writing about dates and events. 
Understanding capitalization in dates helps students develop clear and correct writing habits. By practicing with real-life examples such as birthdays, school events, holidays, and festivals, learners become more confident in reading and writing sentences that include dates. 

Why Capitalizing Dates Matter in Grammar?

1. Days such as Monday, Tuesday, and Friday always start with capital letters. 
2. Months like January, March, and December must be capitalized. 
3. Correct capitalization makes dates easier to read and understand. 
4. It helps students write events, holidays, and schedules correctly.
