Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students reread their own writing and check capitals, spaces, and end marks. They make simple corrections so another person can read the message.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students can find and fix a missing capital, unclear spacing, or missing end mark. They can explain each change using simple terms such as capital, space, and period.
Common Misconceptions: Students may add a period after every line instead of after a complete thought. They may use capitals randomly, leave out spaces, or think editing means changing the whole story.
How to Assess It: Give students one sentence with a missing capital, missing spaces, and no end mark. Ask them to mark and fix all three errors.

Lesson moves

Give pairs word cards to build a sentence, then add a capital letter card, finger spaces, and an end mark card.
Display a sentence with two errors and ask, "What should we fix so a reader can understand it?"
Play Editor Hunt by posting short sentences around the room for students to correct with sticky notes.
Have students edit a classroom sign or label so visitors can read it easily.
