Choosing Precise Words Task Cards & Worksheets – Word Choice & Nuance
Do your students write “The thing was on the table” when they could say “The vase was on the table”? Do they describe every emotion as “good” or “bad” or “nice”?

Mixed Review: Word Choice Workshop Task Cards & Worksheets
Do your students write “The runner went toward the finish line” when they could say “The runner sprinted toward the finish line”?

Dashes for Emphasis and Interruption Cards & Worksheets – Punctuation Practice
Do your students use dashes randomly – or not at all? Do they know the difference between a dash and a hyphen?

Do they overuse dashes in every sentence, or avoid them completely because they’re unsure of the rules?You’re not alone.
