FREE Editing Checklist for Young Writers

By thisreadingmama 6 Comments

In honor of National Coffee Day this weekend {US readers}, I’m posting a coffee-themed FREEBIE that’s available to ALL my readers!

It’s an editing checklist you can use with your K-2 writers called C.U.P.S.

FREE Editing Checklist for Young Writers | This Reading Mama

*The free download link can be found at the END of this post.

C.U.P.S. Editing Checklist

The C.U.P.S. checklist includes these four items:

  1. Capital letters– Did I put capital letters where they belong?
  2. Understanding– If I read this to someone, will they understand it?
  3. Punctuation– Did I put punctuation where it belongs?
  4. Spelling– Did I spell all my words correctly?

Also included in the printable are these “sugar packs” to pass out to students when they need to re-check a particular item. For example, if a child says he is “done” with his writing, yet you notice lots of inappropriate uses of capital letters, hand him a C “sugar pack” as a reminder that he needs to edit more carefully for capital letters.

Enjoy teaching!
