Proofreading—2nd Grade

When you write, you should check to make sure you have used punctuation (commas,
apostrophes, and periods) correctly, capitalized correctly, and spelled correctly. This is called
proofreading.

Proofread each sentence, and rewrite sentences that have mistakes. If the sentence is
correct, write “correct” on the line.

1. For christmas, I want a hot wheels track.

2. You know that I cant run as fast as Marcus.

3. Is this you’re moms purse?

4. Dont you think we shuld close mrs. Smiths door.
