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.
