A short sentence about a dog, a child and their friend Sam is shown with no capital letters, then written again with three capitals added one at a time: M to start the sentence, S for the name Sam, and I for the word I. Each capital is coloured and marked with an arrow and a number, and the video ends on the recap that capital letters start sentences, names and the word I.

What the lesson says
Here are my dog, me and Sam.
Read along. My dog and I run to Sam.
Uh oh, there are no capital letters!
Where do the capital letters go?
A sentence starts with a capital letter, like M.
A name like Sam starts with a capital S.
The word I is always a capital letter.
Now there are three capitals: one, two, three.
Read it again. My dog and I run to Sam.
Capital letters start sentences, names and the word I.
