What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students reread their own writing and check capitals, spaces, spelling, and end punctuation. They make corrections so another person can read the message clearly.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can reread a short draft and find missing capitals, spaces, or end marks. The student can correct common words and make the writing easy to read.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may add a period but forget the capital letter, or use capital letters in the middle of words. They may confuse editing with changing the story or assume invented spelling never needs another look.
How to Assess It
- Give students this sentence: “my dog likes to run” Ask them to rewrite it with correct capitalization, spacing, spelling, and punctuation.
