About this worksheet

Editing means reading a draft carefully and fixing mistakes: a capital letter at the start of each sentence and for names and days, an end mark on every sentence, the right spelling, verbs that agree with their subjects, and a run-on split into two sentences. On this fifth grade sheet a child reads one short paragraph with several mistakes and writes it again with every mistake fixed. Each version has a different paragraph, and the answer key shows the corrected paragraph.
