Question 1

1. Add a period after “tag.” (correct answer)
2. Add a sentence about school lunch.
3. Change “park” to “zoo.”

Explanation: This is about fixing punctuation. Omar needs a period after 'tag.' Every sentence needs an ending mark.

Question 2

1. Change “wattered” to “watered.” (correct answer)
2. Add a new sentence about her brother’s birthday.
3. Erase the time-order words to make it shorter.

Explanation: We revise words that don't look right. Ivy spelled 'watered' wrong. She should change 'wattered' to 'watered'. One small change makes it better.

Question 3

1. Fix the spelling of “pizza” to “piza.”
2. Remove “I ate pizza” because it is not about dogs. (correct answer)
3. Change the topic to be about pizza instead.

Explanation: This tests staying on topic. Ana's writing is about dogs, but "I ate pizza" is about food, not dogs. Good writers take out sentences that don't match their topic.

Question 4

1. Adding a reason like “She helps me read.” (correct answer)
2. Putting a capital letter on “she” in every sentence.
3. Adding periods only, even when they are already there.

Explanation: Revising means adding new ideas. Jay could add why his teacher is nice. Adding 'She helps me read' gives a reason. That's revising, not just fixing mistakes.

Question 5

1. Remove “It is good.” because it is a reason.
2. Remove “I like to play tag.” because it is not about pizza. (correct answer)
3. Remove “My favorite food is pizza.” because it is the topic.

Explanation: We keep sentences on the same topic. Cara writes about her favorite food. Playing tag is not about food. She should take out that sentence.

Question 6

1. Fix the spelling of “because” even if it is correct.
2. Change the whole writing to be about homework.
3. Add a detail like what game they play at recess. (correct answer)

Explanation: We revise by adding details. Ella can tell what game they play. Details make writing more interesting. They help readers picture what happens.

Question 7

1. Add more reasons why parks are fun.
2. Change “rabit” to “rabbit.” (correct answer)
3. Remove “at the park” because it tells where.

Explanation: We edit spelling in our writing. Hugo spelled 'rabbit' wrong. He needs to change 'rabit' to 'rabbit'. Good spellers check their words.

Question 8

1. Add a sentence telling how she felt in the cold water. (correct answer)
2. Only fix periods, even if they are already there.
3. Take out “I went swimming.” and keep only details.

Question 9

1. Add a sentence about his favorite animal at home.
2. Capitalize “I” and “We” at the start of sentences. (correct answer)
3. Change the topic from the zoo to the beach.

Explanation: We edit capital letters in our writing. The word 'I' always needs a big letter. The first word in each sentence needs one too. Ben should fix 'i' and 'we'.

Question 10

1. Add a period after “snowman” and a period at the end. (correct answer)
2. Add a new topic sentence about summer.
3. Add an off-topic sentence about his lunch.

2. Fix the spelling of “best” to “bst.”

1. Add a detail about the frog’s color. (correct answer)
2. Add commas after every word.
3. Change the topic to a dog.

Question 13

1. Add a last sentence telling what happened next. (correct answer)
2. Fix “Then” to “then” with no capital.
3. Remove “First I got my seeds.”

Explanation: We're adding an ending to the story. Sara tells how she planted seeds. She should add what happened last, like "Now I have flowers."

Question 14

1. Take out “Yesterday I ate cereal.” (correct answer)
2. Add a question mark at the end.

2. Add more math facts to match the test sentence.
