Foreword Proofreading and editing skills consists of a selection of texts written in specific formats to provide punctuation, spelling and grammatical practice. Detailed descriptions of concepts, such as specific parts of speech and punctuation, are also included, as well as vocabulary enrichment and aspects of writing. The aim is to provide pupils with varied, structured experiences in proofreading and editing written texts. A high level of proficiency in these skills is vital for accurate self-monitoring of written work.
