Your child will develop real-life editing skills for superior writing and top test scores!
Editor in Chief improves your child's 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.
The stories involve mixed-skills practice, starting with easier errors and becoming more challenging as students become adept at the editing process.
The books and software both use the same stories, errors, and rules. The difference is in the way students edit the stories.
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

- 33 activities
- Beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of play.
- Quick and detailed instructions
- Hints that help students keep learning even if they don't know a rule-no getting stuck.

- Self-grading, with printable student data

Everything is thoughtfully laid out, and sequenced well to keep them learning and challenged at a reasonable rate. The activities are varied and interesting, and they scale up gradually from basic phonics to real writing by the end of the year. I love that the answers are not spoon-fed; even in a language arts curriculum, this company's products encourage the kids to THINK, to reason, and to exercise their noodle.

| | My child enjoys these books. We use the Language Smarts as his curriculum for language arts and supplement the book with other worksheets. The books are easy to use, easy to read and fun to do, with colorful pages and quality information to keep anyone's attention. I have already purchased the same books to use with my younger child. :) | | | Karen H, Co-op Member |
| | We are using five Critical Thinking Company products this year. I want my kids to be able to think for themselves and to be able to problem solve, more than any other achievement. The products we are using are all fantastic. The workbooks are easy to read, and have great 'thinking' exercises. Their pages are perforated, for removal for portfolios, too. The software programs are active,colorful, and provide plenty of opportunity for kids to really think about what is going on, and how to problem solve the issues. We love the US History prog...(more) | | | Beth F., Co-op Member |
