Do you find yourself wishing you could grasp more natural teaching moments with your child? Do you have a child who resists anything contrived or in workbook form? Do you love unit studies, but have a hard time working in the nitty gritty details of grammar? Are you a Charlotte Mason or Ruth Beechick family who wants to get more out of copywork? Are you an unschooling or eclectic-learning family that wants to introduce small snippets of grammar into normal life? We are two moms who created this website for our own use, but would love to share it with others who are in the same boat. Dig in, explore, and let us know what you think!

Capitalization 1 - Initials

Initials are the first letters in a name. They are always capitalized, followed by a period and a space.
Daily Grammar Lesson 336

Alexander Graham Bell -- A. G. B.

Teaching Ideas:
  • Notice initials in business names, such as accountants and attorneys.
  • Look for monogrammed items in the home.  (Point out that there is no period used on monograms).

Copywork Ideas:
  • Write initials for family members.
