My students love this book,
This review is from: Editor in Chief A1 (Paperback)
I first purchased this book several years ago. Since then, I have tried to use other "daily oral language practice" editing activities, but came back to this one. My students seem to really enjoy the "detective work" of finding errors in these interesting-to-read paragraphs. Each one is a simulation of a short newspaper article, and is accompanied by a picture with a caption; the students have to compare these with the text to see if there are any discrepancies. While students are looking for common mistakes in writing they tend to make, they are learning fun facts about animals, geology, and even history.

I've never come across anything quite like them as a way to prepare for the grammar section of standardized tests and to teach careful proofreading and editing.

This review is from: Editor in Chief A1 (Paperback)
A friend introduced these books to me. Had to have them. We use them along side our other curriculum to help build our writing skills by looking for "error's". Paragraphs are short and the "hunt" can be lots of fun.
