(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

There are 12 months in a year, and they also start with capital letters. Learning them in order helps with dates.

In KS1 English Spelling, Year 2 pupils learn to spell the days of the week and the months of the year. They also practise using capital letters because day and month names are proper names.

Key Terms

  • Day of the week: A named day, like Monday or Friday.
  • Month: A named part of the year, like January or June.
  • Capital letter: A big letter used at the start of a name, like “T” in Tuesday.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Do days of the week need capital letters in the UK?

Yes, days of the week are names, so they start with a capital letter, such as Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.

What are the days of the week in order?

The days in order are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

How can I help my child remember the months and days?

Practise saying them in order, write real dates, and spot patterns like “day” in Monday and “ber” in September, October, November, and December.
