This homeschool creative writing curriculum includes editing activities to help children develop writing skills they can use for a lifetime.
Students develop real-life editing skills for superior writing, highest grades, and top test scores! Teaching writing skills has never been easier than in this dynamic writing and editing activity course.
These effective activities use thinking (not drill and practice) to sharpen grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and attention to detail.
Methods
Students analyze stories that contain errors in writing mechanics and content. They must carefully evaluate words and sentences for accuracy and also compare story details with information provided in pictures and captions. To correct each story, students insert, modify or delete punctuation, words, and short phrases.
C level activities involve mixed-skills practice, starting with easier activities and becoming more challenging as students become adept at correcting the errors. The book includes an editing checklist to help focus students’ thinking and an annotated guide to grammar, usage and punctuation.
