A Set of Editing Sentences 3rd Grade 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 editing sentence worksheets for 3rd grade have been designed to give your students practice identifying and fixing errors in simple sentences. Each worksheet contains two separate activities:
- Students read the sentences, then rewrite them correctly on the line provided.
- Students identify whether the sentences provided are correct or need fixing. If they need fixing, students update the sentences accordingly.
This set of editing sentences 3rd grade worksheets cover the following concepts:
- Capitalization
- Verb tense
- Comparative and superlative adjectives
- Punctuation
- Plural nouns
These editing sentences worksheets for 3rd grade download as an easy-print PDF or an editable Google Slides file. Answers are included in both file options.
