Proper Noun Practice Worksheet for Early Learners

How to use this worksheet

Read the first sentence aloud together, leaving a pause where the proper noun belongs. Look at the answer choices provided and talk about which one is a specific name rather than a general word. Have your child circle or write the correct proper noun to complete the sentence, then read the finished sentence aloud together. Continue through each remaining sentence the same way, pointing out that proper nouns always start with a capital letter.
