No matter how much teachers may talk about the importance of solid writing skills, nothing beats giving students the opportunity to make their own edits. Find the Errors! is a light-hearted approach to this age-old challenge. 37 passages contain short, humorous anecdotes, letters, crossword puzzles and more. But each passage is also riddled with errors! Now it's up to your students to go into those passages and identify and annotate the mistakes. They'll work on spelling, capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, and style. For middle school students, this is a very successful way to engage them, while giving them a palpable sense of accomplishment as they improve each passage. Extensive teacher support includes grammatical rules, answer keys, additional activities, and tests for easy assessment See also Find the Errors II

Many teachers have adopted the daily proofreading exercises published by large companies as a way to help students practice finding and correcting errors. Sadly, many students have fallen asleep over these same exercises. Ordinary daily proofreading exercises try to do too much—i.e., force-feed facts and information as they also try to teach writing. A Sentence a Day takes a different approach. It focuses on short, playful, interesting sentences with a sense of humor. Students receive proofreading practice in daily doses that don't overwhelm. Each exercise should take only a few minutes of class time, allowing for frequent, consistent reinforcement and practice of serious writing skills. Each page of the book shows an incorrect sentence, a sample correction, and notes for the teacher. Grades 6-9
