What children learn in Level 45

Editors check writing for mistakes before anyone reads it. Use this checklist: capitals, end marks, spelling, verb tense, apostrophes, and sound-alike words.
Read slowly, one word at a time. Does each sentence start with a capital and end with the right mark? Are names capitalized?
Check verbs. If it happened yesterday, the verb should be in the past: Yesterday we went to the library.
When a word doesn't fit at the end of a line, split it between syllables with a hyphen.
Your turn! Tap the word with the mistake.
