# Lesson 5: Edit and Correct Spelling Mistakes

✍️ WRITING (40 Lessons) • 🟢 A. Building Sentences and Paragraphs

← Back to Level 2

## Objective

I can find and fix common spelling mistakes in simple sentences and short paragraphs. I will use sound-it-out, look-for-patterns, and check-with-a-list strategies to edit my writing.

## Materials

- Pencil ✏️ and eraser
- Ruled paper or tablet
- Tracing Pad (below)
- Personal word list or class spelling list

Tip: After fixing a word, read the whole sentence to be sure it still makes sense.

## Mini-lesson — How do I fix spelling?

1. Say it slowly. Tap each sound and write the letters you hear.
2. Look for patterns. Common chunks: tion, ing, ck, igh, oo.
3. Check rules. c before e, i, y (soft c); k after short vowel (like back).
4. Use tools. Word wall, dictionary, or your spelling list.
5. Re-read. Fix one word, then read the whole line for flow.

## Guided Practice — Trace on the Pad

Trace these tricky words, then write two edited sentences:

- Focus words: because, friend, school, favorite, animal
- Example: I like skool. → I like school.
