Editor in Chief®
improves students' grammar, punctuation, spelling,
capitalization, and attention to detail using a
standards-based thinking approach rather than drill
and practice. This effective method teaches students
to carefully analyze and edit stories that contain
errors in writing mechanics and story details.
The stories involve mixed-skills practice,
starting with easier errors and becoming more challenging as students
become adept at the editing process.
The books and software both use the same
stories, errors, and rules. The difference is in the way students edit
the stories.
Students identify and click on
errors in each story. Then they select the category and specific rule
that applies to each error, prompting the software to correct the error.
On-screen instructions, hints, rules, and answers allow students to work,
learn, and succeed independently.
