Publisher Description:

This fun, highly-effective 136-page book teaches students in Grades 4-5 grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and critical reading in a standards-based thinking approach instead of the usual drill and practice found in competing products. Students begin with an easy-to-understand lesson followed by an activity that require students to carefully analyze and edit stories, letters, or articles that contain mechanical errors. This effective method allows students to gain mastery over concepts that will translate into their own writing.

Editor in Chief® Level 1 includes lessons and practice with the following concepts:

  • Capitalization
  • Content
  • Apostrophes
  • Colons
  • Commas
  • Exclamation Marks
  • Hyphens
  • Parentheses
  • Question Marks
  • Quotation Marks
  • Periods
  • Semicolons
  • Adjectives
  • Adverbs
  • Agreement
  • Articles
  • Clauses
  • Homographs
  • Homophones
  • Interjections
  • Nouns
  • Phrases
  • Prepositions
  • Pronouns
  • Run-On Sentences
  • Sentence Fragments
  • Verbs
  • Confused Word Pairs
  • Spelling

    • Category Description for Editor in Chief Books A-C, Levels 1-3:

    Make your student(s) the editor in chief! With these consumable books children edit punctuation, grammar, content, and usage; learning while they're having fun. Each lesson starts with a short instructional sequence that is followed by four practice edits. These edits provide an error-filled article or letter with an illustration and caption (no errors in these). The number and type of errors is supplied for each edit. There is also space for the student to write out a corrected version. There are mini-reviews every three lessons plus longer reviews midway and at the end of the book. All answers are in the back of the book. A previous edition of this series had two books at each skill level. These have now been combined with added instruction into a single book at each level.

    We have used the earlier levels of the EiC program. Now it's time to buy the next one. I like that it teaches grammar in a more realistic context. No diagramming sentences!

    Attention to detail
    I really enjoy Editor-in Chief for my kids. I've used the workbooks and the computer disks. It teaches them to slow down, really look at what they're reading, and pay attention to details. I'm all for reading books quickly, but this workbook has good activities to train kids to edit their own papers and look for errors on any assignment before they turn it in.
