Objective
I can edit my writing to find and fix spelling mistakes
using simple strategies (sound it out, check parts, and confirm the word).
Materials
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Ruled paper (primary lines preferred)
Mini-lesson — Edit spelling like a detective
Editing is what you do after you write. A good editor rereads and fixes small mistakes.
Today we focus on spelling.
Spelling detective steps
- Reread slowly and look for a word that “doesn’t look right.”
- Sound it out and say the word slowly.
- Check the parts (word chunks and endings like -ed and -s).
- Confirm the word (word wall, dictionary, or a grown-up).
- Fix it and reread the sentence again.
Example
- Draft: I hopd in the puddle.
- Edit: I hopped in the puddle.
