5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series!, May 1, 2010

The entire Editor in Chief series is excellent. Often, even students who don't like studying grammar enjoy the EIC editing challenges. They are short and the number of errors in a passage is noted in advance, so that students know when to stop or to keep searching. I would recommend this series for either homeschooled or in-school students to complement any other curriculum. It is indeed one of the Critical Thinking Company's best publications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to find mistakes and correct them, January 5, 2008

What a great way for students to learn to find their own mistakes by learning to find someone else's first. These books make it fairly easy for them. If your students is having trouble - then you as a teacher have ways to give them hint's - you can either tell them to look for a spelling mistake - or how many mistakes.

You can also give them a chance to re-write or retype the paragraph for practice. I really like the Editor in Chief books.
