Grammar Disasters & Punctuation Faux Pas



Editor in Chief improves students' grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and attention to detail using a standards-based thinking approach rather than drill and practice. This effective method teaches students to carefully analyze and edit stories that contain errors in writing mechanics and story details.



Methods

The stories involve mixed-skills practice, starting with easier errors and becoming more challenging as students become adept at the editing process.



The books and software both use the same stories, errors, and rules. The difference is in the way students edit the stories.



Students identify and click on errors in each story. Then they select the category and specific rule that applies to each error, prompting the software to correct the error. On-screen instructions, hints, rules, and answers allow students to work, learn, and succeed independently.
