About this worksheet

Revision means making a sentence clearer and more correct for a reader. First graders often treat checking as a quick search for a period, so they overlook a missing capital, a crowded word space, or a wrong end mark. This worksheet turns editing into a sequence of small decisions. Children find the sentence with a capital and an end mark, name the one thing a draft needs, choose the sentence that fixes every mistake, pick the right end mark, and then fix a draft in their own handwriting.

Support drafts have one visible error. Standard drafts have two, and challenge drafts have three, so the child has to keep checking after the first fix. Encourage your child to read the draft once for the message and a second time for capitals, spaces, and marks. Separating those passes prevents the child from fixing a surface mark while leaving another mistake behind.
