Practical Applications
## Making Your Work Shine
Editing is more than just fixing typos—it's about refining your content, grammar, and style so your ideas stand out. Use your ACT English skills to review essays, reports, and creative writing for clarity and correctness.
### Steps for Effective Editing
- Read your work aloud to catch errors.
- Check for grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.
- Ask if each sentence adds value to your message.
### Beyond the Classroom
Strong editing skills are valuable in college, internships, and any profession that involves writing.
Examples
- Catching a run-on sentence in a history essay.
- Improving word choice in a science lab report.
