A. ProofreadingThere are six spelling mistakes in the story below. Circle the misspelled words. Write the words correctly on the lines below.

“It’s so hot I think I’m going to overheet!” Elena said to Keisha. “Let’s take the subbway instead of walking.” “It will be my first time,” Keisha said. “You’ll have to show me what to do.”

“It’s easy,” Elena said. “First we buy tickets. Then we need to make sure we get on the right train so we don’t go to the uncorrect place. When the train arrives, the doors will inlock. We have to wait for the people who were riding to unlode. Then we can get on.”

When the girls were on the train, Keisha gave her seat to a man with a hurt leg. She had sprained her ankle a few months ago and could recal how painful it was to stand. Elena smiled at her friend. “It looks like you already know the most important part—treating others with kindness and respect,” she said.

Dear Jonella,

Thanks for your letter and the foto. I wish I had a chanc to see a baseball game with you. It sounds like that Mario is quite a pither.

I went to my fith baseball game last weekend with my school’s marching band—all thirhty of us! Our seats were up in the upper balcony. Mr. Ines called them the “cheap seats.” It was loud up there, but I was in no rushe to leave. We all chanted for our favorite players.

In between innings, we bought some hot dogs. I like mine loaded with onions and ketcup. In the end, our team didn’t win. The hwole experience was still really fun, but I admit that I would chuse to watch a basketball game any day. That’s still my favorite sport!

Early in the mourning, Lucas had a bad feeling. He could tell it was going to be a starmy day. He was worried about the animals outside and decided to round them up into the barn. He dressed quickly in the same clothes he had warn the day before.

Outside, lightning reached across the sky like a giant spork. He rushed to the barn and pushed open the main doar. A rumble of thunder caused one of the horses to chorge inside. Lucas would have to act fast to get the rest of the animals inside before the rain began.

That night, he was finally ready. He tied his kite string to a key and then he flew his kite. Up it went into the windy night and soon lightning struck it. To his delight, he saw a spark jump from the key. He knew he had been right.

A. ProofreadingThere are five spelling mistakes in the paragraphs below. Circle the misspelled words. Write the words correctly on the lines below.

Last week, I woke up late one day. I quickly put on my pants and shurt, ate breakfast, and raced out the door to catch the bus. At school, the teacher pointed at me and asked, “What happened to you? Your clothes are all derty.”

I looked down but couldn’t see why he would think that. My clothes looked fine to me, even though the buttons looked a little bit blirred. “Maybe you need glasses,” he said. As it turns out, he was right.

My mother and I took a trip to the eye doctor. He was a gentle and kind purson. He had me try on a number of eyeglasses and asked if they made my vision better or werse. Soon he had solved my problem. Now that I have new eyeglasses, the world is a much clearer—and cleaner—place!

My brother Sam could never make up his mind about what he wanted to be when he grew up. He just new that he wanted to help people.

Sam also liked tools. He liked fixing his bike with a rench. He could have been a plummer. He would have liked helping people by fixing their leaky sinks.

When he decided to be a judge, I was sure that was the perfect job for him. He was always onest and fair. I had no dout that he would help a lot of people. You could just tell that he was going to make a difference, whether as a shepherd, a plumber, or a judge.

A. Proofreading There are six spelling mistakes in the story below. Circle the misspelled words. Write the words correctly on the lines below.

Ana read an article in the newspaper about a fire at a house in a nearby vilage. No one was hurt, but the family lost all of their belongings. Many people were helping them out, but the children didn’t have clothes and books for school.

She thought about how strang it would be to lose her own stuff. She was sertain she could find a way to help out. Ana decided to arranje a way for them to get the things they needed.

She started asking people to help. She started with her parents. They gave her a few dollars. Then she asked her grandparents. They gave a little, too. Then she asked her teacher, and next her neighbors. Pretty soon, she had the courage to ask everyone—the polise and even the clowns at the local sircus. When she collected enough money, her dad drove her to the store. She bought new clothes, books, and school supplies. She even bought some new toys. Then she loaded her purchases in a big box and got ready to drop them off to their new owners.

A. Proofreading ActivityThere are six spelling mistakes in the story below. Circle the misspelled words. Write the words correctly on the lines below.

It all started when Kayla and I tried on our sister’s dreses. We did some dances and ripped holes in two of them. We decided we could make patchs for them so that no one would ever know. Together, we walked to the mall for supplys.

We went to a store that sold things for people with hobbys. Sewing is a hobby, so we asked for fabric and thread. We bought some that looked almost the same as the dress.

We tried to fix the clothes but made many mistakeses. Luckily, our parentes found out and offered to help. “At least you tried to fix what you ruined,” they said. “That’s better than nothing.”

A.ProofreadingThere are six spelling mistakes in the story below. Circle the misspelled words. Write the words correctly on the lines below.

My cousin Oliver was from the city and had never been camping. On the last night of his visit to our house in the country, I suggested that we sleep out in the back yard. At first he was nervous, but he agreed.

First, we took a big old bed spread and draped it over the clothes line. Next, we set up our sleeping bags on a tarp we had laid on the ground. We talked and told stories in our outdoor bed room for about an hour, then decided to go to sleep.

An hour or so later, we heard a tapping noise over head. It had begun to rain! It didn’t take long to find out that our tent wasn’t water proof. Luckily, we made it back inside before we got too wet!

Not only is Catherine my best friend, but she is also one of the sillyest people I know. She is marrier than any of the merriest elves in the North Pole. When Catherine comes over, she thinks up the best games to play. Once we built a giant city made only out of penies. It was so funny. It was even funier when she pretended to be a giant monster and knocked all the pennies down. We have the best time together. Even when one of us is sad or sick, we find ways to cheer each other up. Catherine is one of the happyest kids in our class.

The Whale Voiage

We began our cross-country trip in Seattle, Washington. I was being a big growch about the trip. First of all, it had been raining all day and I didn’t want to be cold and wet. Then, within the first hour, I realized I had forgotten to bring any food. So now my stomach was making noyses and I was hungry, too. My parents kept telling me not to fron, but I couldn’t help it. I didn’t want to drive for days and days. I wanted to stay home and play with my friends. Then we started going up into the mountains. The views were amazing! There were valleys and rivers a thowsand feet below our car. I couldn’t wait to see more.

There are six spelling mistakes in this report. Circle the misspelled words. Write the words correctly on the lines below.

A Studio Visit

As I approached the building, I was excited. A very populer underwater photographer, Anne Smith, had agreed to show me around her studio and talk about her work.

A sign above the door said, “Entar here.” I walked in and took the ellevater to the second floor.

As soon as the door opened, I could smell an odar like low tide at the beach. Anne explained that the smell was from some shells and ocean rocks she was using in her new pictures. There were photographs hung up everywhere! My favorite was a picture of Anne’s daughtor standing in front of a huge ship in the harber. Another photo showed some beautiful coral formations deep in the sea.

I am so glad that Anne let me visit her studio.

A Tael of the Two Deer

Once upon a time, there was a dou named Cinnamon. Cinnamon lived in a great forest with all of her animal friends, including one of their leaders, Printse Butternut. Cinnamon and Butternut were very upset. Their forest was in danger. Every year, humans would build another road or roote deeper into the forest as they looked for gold and other riches. If a deer heard someone coming, he would raise his taile to warn the other animals. Then one day, Cinnamon and Butternut had an idea. They got all the other animals in the forest to help them. Bowlder upon rock, the animals built a wall that would protect them from the people. Cinnamon hoped that all the animals would be very careful and not cross the wall. That way the forest would remain a safe place for them.

I realie love to make paper snowflakes. My best friend and I made a bunch of them for our school’s winter play. We folded and cut dozens of different designs.

One suny, windy afternoon we took a handfull of snowflakes outside. We threw them up in the air to see how they looked. As a game, we measured which one drifted the farthest. By the night of the play, we had a huge bag filled with paper snowflakes. When they blew out onto the stage, the audience was brethles. They had never seen it snow so hard indoors! I feel such happyness when we can make magic happen like that.
