Daily Paragraph Editing "extras" include: A reproducible student language handbook that provides simple, clear rules and examples of their application to guide students in correct use of the mechanics, grammar, and spelling skills covered in the daily paragraphs. A page of reproducible proofreading marks that models the standard markings used to correct and edit text. An editing checklist to guide students in reviewing and revising their own writing or that of a peer. And an assessment rubric to guide teachers in conducting a holistic evaluation of student writing. Scope and sequence charts and an annotated answer key are included. Reproducible. 176 pages.
