What does this Anchor Chart include?

This grade 2 capitalization rules anchor chart comes in two formats.

One has a colourful background with bright images, while the other features a black-and-white background with the same fun visuals.

Planning to save printer ink or print it for home use - A black-and-white version works perfectly!

I have designed both versions to suit both parents and educators.

The 10 Must-Know Capitalisation Rules (Shown in the Anchor Chart)

You can place this anchor chart somewhere your child sees often, like their study corner or on the fridge. Usually, when school reopens after the holidays, punctuation is one of the first topics kids revisit because it's key to building proper sentence structure.

That’s why vacation time is perfect for brushing up on it—or even introducing it if they’re learning it for the first time. Just 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough. Focus on one punctuation rule at a time, help them get comfortable using simple examples, and then move on to the next rule.

In my next blog post, I will be sharing some fun practice worksheets for each rule. For now, the rules listed on this anchor chart will give you a start to learn punctuation.

This anchor chart helps to teach how to use the capital letters with the rules.It also has colorful images and examples along with the rules.
