TOOLS » EDITING GUIDES |
| Student guides at each level help students self-edit their writing. Editing marks on each guide correspond to the mechanics appropriate for each writing level. In addition to providing each student with a copy of the guide, you may want to enlarge and display a copy in the classroom as a reference. |  |
