Students develop real-life editing skills for superior writing and top test scores! Description & Features: Editor in Chief improves students' grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and attention to detail using a standards-based thinking approach rather than drill and practice. This effective method teaches students to carefully analyze and edit stories that contain errors in writing mechanics and story details. Methods: The stories involve mixed-skills practice, starting with easier errors and becoming more challenging as students become adept at the editing process. Students identify and click on errors in each story. Then they select the category and specific rule that applies to each error, prompting the software to correct the error. On-screen instructions, hints, rules, and answers allow students to work, learn, and succeed independently. Features: - Provides high-quality independent learning (not 'edutainment') with immediate feedback for students and parents.
