Whenever you have finished writing, it is super important to check your work for any errors. 

 

Mistakes in text, however small, can impact on how much enjoyment the reader has. Imagine reading a book and having to stop every few sentences because you don't understand what the writer means! It would be really frustrating. 

 

That is what happens when something isn't proofread.

 

In this activity, you will see a selection of texts with spelling and punctuation errors which need correcting

 

If you're ready - let's get started!
