United States Capitals Test Preparation
Capitalize and correctly spell both the Capital and State on the United States Capitals Pretest in preparation for the test on Tuesday, October 26. Students must recognize the two letter state abbreviations and know how to spell all 50 states. A Capital and a State are each worth one point. Use the Capitals list to correctly spell each Capital. Any Capital or State that is misspelled or not capitalized will lose one point. Capitals are typed in the "a" text field and States are typed in the "b" text field. Switching a Capital and State by typing in the wrong text fields will mark both answers incorrect. A space or period placed at the end of an answer will also lose one point.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo--bheaE0I Dec 24, 2012 50 states song is designed to quickly memorize the 50 states both the names and their location on the map. Unlike other songs that learn the names randomly or alphabetically, this song puts them in a sequential order making it easier to memorize and identify each state. By dividing the United States into smaller sections and giving a unique song to each section the task of memorizing is made much easier and faster, and it's only 1 minute and 12 seconds long.
