Using Writer's Eye (Grades K-3)

The basics of the Writer's Eye is to teach children to ask themselves questions while writing:

1. Do I see a capital letter at the beginning of my sentence?
2. Do I see finger spaces between the words I have written?
3. Did I use lowercase letters throughout my sentence? (exceptions)
4. Is my spelling correct?
5. Do I see a punctuation mark at the end of my sentence?
6. Does my sentence make sense when I read it?

To introduce Writer's Eye, post an incorrect sentence on the SMART Board that includes all/most of the mistakes listed above. As students raise their hands to offer corrections, have them place their Writer's Eyes on (goofy lens-less glasses) and tell you the correction. Believe me, the glasses are a great motivator for participation! Make the correction on the board & discuss. After the correction has been made, give the student the Writer's Eye Card (cut and laminated) that matches their suggestion. After all corrections have been made, have students with cards come to the front one at a time and review their card aloud to the class. Read the sentence together. Keep all materials in a bucket to use - cards and goofy glasses. Independent practice is recommended after this review. Teachers are encouraged to wear their Writer Eyes Glasses as they monitor/correct student work. ☺ Have fun!

Thank you for the free download! I love it. Did you make the border or purchase it? I would like to use the same border.

You're welcome! Thanks for downloading. I have been searching through my files to find the source that I got the border from, but I can't find it! This was my first TpT post and I thought I gave credit to everything (apparently, not the border!!!). I download my borders for free usually. I did not make this one. If you feel comfortable using it without crediting the source that is up to you. I will keep searching and let you know if I find out where I got it. Thanks!
