This bundle of activities are fantastic for teaching children how to proof read and spot mistakes in writing. The two booklets contain three different activities using extracts from Roald Dahl stories. First pupils look at punctuation errors, then common spelling mistakes and finally improving grammar and vocabulary. Both booklets are the same but the LA has fewer mistakes to find. The extension activity brings all these skills together. The column with hints down the side could easily be removed for more able children. The lesson 2 activities also bring all these skills together, with a table to support pupils in ensuring they have found ALL the errors. Again, the LA document has fewer errors to find.
