This is part of the free editing set from First Grade Wow.

FREE My Editing Checklist - 1 sheet. I used this with my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to help them review and improve their writing. If any of their boxes are checked "NO" they must go back and correct the mistakes and check the "CORRECTED" box after they have fixed their mistakes.  I kept this sheet at our Writing Center and also had students use them for Writing Homework assignments.

I print these teaching points on sticky notes! At the end of each writing conference, I leave my students with a physical reminder of the teaching point that I just gave them. The teaching points above are for personal narrative and are linked in my profile.
