Introduction

Hi grammarians! When we are writing, we want to make sure that we use correct capitalization. Capital letters show that something is important, like proper nouns or the start to a sentence. They help us read and write fluently!

This week, we will learn the capitalization rules using the M.I.N.T.S. strategy. Today, our focus is on T - Titles of books, magazines, movies, and jobs.

Introduction

Hey reader! We have been learning about story elements, and our focus for today is characters! Characters are the ones that are either causing or solving problems in a story. Sometimes, they are helping the main character. When we are reading, we want to focus on characters' actions because often they can help us identify traits of a character.
