Evan-Moor Daily Paragraph Editing, Grade 5 Teaching Edition

Love this. Students punctuate an informative piece. Since it is 4 days, I can "miss a day" and still finish that week. Since the topic is short, kids do not get bored with the content. Since it is on computer, I project it to my whiteboard, so easy to show kids answers. Comma rules introduced one at a time and reinforced over several stories. If you pick it up, not too bad to grade. I usually picked it up every other week and graded one of the four. I could grade 50-60 papers in an hour. I usually just gave a completion/ participation grade unless I thought they were not doing it. Then I would pick it up and hire my 10 th grader to grade them for 10$. Hits all my punctuation TEKS with out pain.

I actually do love it! The students complete it quickly and they all participate. It's fast for me to grade, and most importantly, I feel it really does improve their overall mechanics.

I've been using this tool for eight years now with great success. It makes the students think about good writing skills. It's a great tool for emphasizing or fortifying the editing process. Thumbs up for a great product.

As a supplement to the Language Text, this book helps students take their creative writing skills to a professional level.

It is a great supplement to my ELA text.

-My students like it. I make it a challenge by telling them how many errors they need to find. I also use it to assess IEP goals (for editing and proofreading).

I use this book every morning to start English class. It is a great way to review the basics they learn every year! I have found some mistakes in the book, but not too many.
