Kindergarten Copywork: Edit After Copying
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: using a short checklist to revise a copied sentence
1
Copy: A cat can nap.
2
Check: Does your copy start with A?
3
Check: Does every word have a space?
4
Check: Does your copy end with a period?
5
Fix this copy: A catcannap
6
Read your repaired sentence to an adult.
- Introduce one checklist item at a time, then combine them after success.
- Use the model as a tool for checking rather than asking the child to remember every letter.
- Celebrate a self-found repair as much as an error-free copy.
