Description
“I read it three times! I just don’t see them,” she said. The problem wasn’t her eyes—it was her strategy. This worksheet teaches how to shift into “editor mode,” giving a systematic way to find errors and write clearly.
Why “Read It Again” Doesn’t Work
Your brain autocorrects mistakes while reading for meaning. To catch errors, you need a new approach.
Our worksheet uses the Focused Proofreading Method:
- One Rule at a Time: Each drill targets one rule—commas, apostrophes, or dialogue punctuation.
- Editor’s Checklist: Scan for commas, check apostrophes, and review end punctuation.
- Explained Answers: Every correction includes what was wrong and why the fix works.
What’s Inside the Toolkit?
A complete guide to building editing skills:
Part 1: Focused Drills
- Comma Section: Fix splices, add commas in lists and compound sentences.
- Apostrophe Section: Possessives vs. plurals, contractions like it’s/its.
- Dialogue Section: Quotation marks, commas, and end punctuation.
- Mixed Challenge: All error types together for real-world practice.
Part 2: Explanation Key
- Error: “Sentence 3 has a comma splice.”
- Correction: “Add a conjunction, semicolon, or period.”
- Rule: “A comma alone cannot join two sentences.”
How to Use This Worksheet
- Use the Checklist: Start with a plan so it feels manageable.
