About This Skill

On Iqleel, second-grade students will learn to tell the difference between common nouns and proper nouns. They will practice identifying general words for a person, place, or thing (like 'boy' or 'city') and contrast them with specific, capitalized names (like 'John' or 'Paris'). This is an important skill for understanding capitalization rules and is a key part of mastering Parts of Speech.
