  95. Kimberly D. –

    This helped my students to locate errors in their own work.

  96. The Wonder Vault –

    This was a great, quick practice of proofreading for my 5th graders. There were a few places where corrections were unclear (for example, where a comma might have been well placed, but not required) that gave us some good discussion fodder, but in general the students found it accessible and a good challenge. They especially liked that they knew number of errors they were looking for in each paragraph.

  97. Kirsten Y. –

    This was fun and fabulous. It would be great to have an English Spelling version also.

    Great resource for Middle and High Schoolers.

  114. Heather J. –

    In addition to teaching ESL, I often teach test prep. Several exams don’t directly grade a writing sample, but still require one. By using materials to test paragraph proof-reading and editing, I can help my students practice the skill they will need to use independently on their exam. By practicing editing, they can go back to their own writing sample and look for the kinds of mistakes people make and correct as many of them as possible.

    great resource!

  116. Kaylee H. –

    This is a great resource!

    A great resource for someone who needs structure and help with writing

  121. Mikayla S. –

    Great activity!

    I used this resource as additional work for substitute teacher. Most students completed it with 80 to 90% accuracy.

  124. Susan Sung –

    Great for practicing editing skills!

  125. Marcella H. –

    My students needed more practice with editing before the FSA and this was just the ticket they needed. It was engaging and they actually enjoyed it. I paired them up with their buddy and they were quite successful with these practices.

  126. Sonia L. –

    My students loved using this resource as their morning work!

  127. Callie D. –

  156. Erin M. –

    It can be hard to get students working on grammar and conventions when there are so many other things to focus on during the day. This resource gives me a quick way to get students practicing grammar in a meaningful way.

  157. Sharon B. –

    I am always looking for resources for my students to practice editing. They write the way they text, and this is NOT good. Needless to say, they need a lot of practice in writing sentences correctly, and this provides practice online or by using a printed copy.

  158. Barbara P. –

    These worksheets are good practice for my students.

  159. Danielle V. –

    Proofreading and revising is such an important skill for students to learn. This has really helped my students during writing conferences and as they help their classmates.

  160. Erin D. –

    The resource is probably better suited to typical learners than to my students with disabilities. It was difficult for them to locate a lot of the errors.

  161. Laura P. –

  168. Lisa M. –

    My students enjoyed being the “teacher” and showing others how to make the corrections to the work presented on the whiteboard.
