Mastering New York's Grade 5 Writing Standards: Editing a Paragraph helps fifth-graders succeed on the challenging editing a paragraph task. This student-friendly, interactive book shows students, step-by-step, how to edit paragraphs on the statewide test.

Reviews the Major Rules. Students learn all the rules that fifth graders should know for capitalization, punctuation, grammar and usage, based on New York State's Grade 5 Writing Standards. After reviewing each set of rules, students practice applying them by completing various exercises and editing a series of paragraphs just like those found on the actual Session 2 of the statewide test.

Plentiful Practice. The exercises in the book are cumulative. Each set of practice paragraphs includes errors based on rules from previous chapters, so that students are encouraged to review those rules they have already learned. This active reinforcement also strengthens their prior knowledge. By the time students have worked their way through the exercises in this book, they will have reviewed all the relevant rules and edited more than 25 practice paragraphs.

Builds Student Confidence. This in-depth practice builds student confidence. The book is hole-punched for easy placement in a loose-leaf binder, and all of the editing pages are perforated. Students can tear out pages from the book to turn in to the teacher, or to exchange with other students for genuine peer-editing.
