Proofread an Email for Spelling

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Correct 10 misspellings and 2 mixed up words like their and there in an email to a coach. The directions on the page read: This email has 10 misspelled words and 2 confused words (real words used in the wrong place), 12 errors in all. Underline each one. Then write the 12 words correctly on the lines, in order. An answer key is included.
Can I use this identify correct spelling worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade spelling, 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 identify correct spelling. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
How many errors are on each proofreading sheet?
⌄
Proofread Sentences for Spelling has 18, the paragraph and the science report have 10 each and the email has 12, including 2 confused words.
What are confused words?
⌄
They are real words used in the wrong place. In Proofread an Email for Spelling, are should be our and their should be there.
What rules does the review sheet cover?
⌄
Spelling Review of Six Rules covers doubling, drop e, y to i, ie or ei, able or ible and plurals. Students write the letter of the rule for each of 18 words.
