This is a great tool and checklist for writing folders/binders in 1st grade. I have narrowed down 7 editing points to teach and for students to then use to check their writing. I kept it to the CUPS format:
Capital letters at the beginning of the sentence
Capital letters for names and places
Understanding and makes sense?
Punctuation (. ! ?)
Spelling - circle misspelled words
Stays on topic!
Each page has 8 of the same editing points so you can copy and cut for one lesson. I typically teach this at the beginning of writing. The students glue the pre-cut strips on their editing chart and keep in their folders. I also copy the chart in a different color for contrast.
