Your name, capital first

A name begins with a capital and continues in lowercase.

What it is

Your name always begins with a capital letter, and only the first letter is capital — the rest are small. This is the first thing you will write at the top of every page for the rest of school, so it is worth getting exactly right.

Remember
One capital, at the front only.
Ask yourself: “Is only the FIRST letter big?”

Remember

Big letter first, small letters after.
