Spot Spelling and Punctuation Mistakes in Sentences.

Imagine you're building a sandcastle on the beach, with walls, towers, and a moat just like your favourite fairytale.

 

You work hard, patting down the sand with your hands, making sure everything is perfect.

 

 

But then, what if you forgot to close the gate of the moat, or a tower is leaning a little wonky? Whoops!

 

 

Proofreading is like checking your sandcastle before showing it off.

 

It's reading your work carefully, like a detective searching for sneaky mistakes.

 

 

Sometimes, when we're busy building our words, little errors can sneak in, like missing 's' sounds, punctuation or misspelt words.

 

They might be tiny, but they can make things a bit confusing if we don't fix them.
 

Look at the tricky words below to help you proofread.

 

little	the	of	when	I
no	said	he	she	are
you	was	they	all	my
some	come	one	what	out
like	have	here	looked	asked

 

In this activity, we will read different sentences to spot spelling and punctuation mistakes.

 

Let's go, detective!
