Then write the correct word in order and circle C, U, P, or S to show the kind of error. An answer key is included.
Can I use this editing worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade writing process, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with editing. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
