Help your students become confident editors with our Identifying Capital Letters in Titles Worksheets. This engaging worksheet pack is designed to support students as they learn to apply title case capitalisation rules to book titles. By identifying errors, correcting them, and creating their own titles, students will improve their grammar awareness, sentence construction, and overall writing accuracy.

Each activity prompts students to carefully read and assess a list of book titles, determine whether each title is capitalised correctly, and colour a tick or cross to indicate their decision. Then, they put their knowledge into practise by writing a correctly capitalised book title of their own. These tasks provide both recognition and application opportunities, reinforcing the correct use of capital letters in titles.

Ideal for whole-class instruction, literacy rotations, grammar mini-lessons, or early finisher tasks, these worksheets are a flexible and effective way to develop an important writing skill. With clear formatting and scaffolded tasks, students can work independently or collaboratively while building fluency in editing and proofreading.
