A Set of Year 4 Editing Worksheets

Editing is a valuable skill for our students to learn. It teaches them to look at texts with a critical eye, a skill that can be transferred to their own writing.

These Year 4 editing worksheets have been designed to give your students practice identifying and fixing errors in simple sentences. Each worksheet contains two separate activities:

1. Students read the sentences, then rewrite them correctly on the line provided.
2. Students identify whether the sentences provided are correct or need fixing. If they need fixing, students update the sentences accordingly.

This set of Year 4 editing worksheets cover the following concepts:

• Confused words
• Sentence fragments and run-ons
• Capitalisation
• Punctuation
• Order of adjectives

These editing sentences worksheets for Year 4 download as an easy-print PDF or an editable Google Slides file. Answers are included in both file options.

Multiple Uses for These Year 4 Editing Worksheets 

These editing worksheets can be used in multiple ways in your grammar lessons. Here are a few ideas from our teacher team:

• Whole-Class Warm-Up – Choose a worksheet to project onto your interactive whiteboard as a whole-class lesson warm-up at the beginning of your grammar lesson. This allows for editing skills to be reinforced on a daily basis.
• Show Me! Game – Provide students with mini whiteboards and markers. Choose a worksheet to project onto your interactive whiteboard, then have the students correct the sentences, one at a time, by writing them correctly on their whiteboards.
• Homework Task – Assign worksheets as homework for individual practice, then review the sentences as a class the next day. This allows students to independently apply editing skills outside of the classroom.
