There are wrongly spelled words to correct and pronouns to identify. These were originally used to help a child with special needs who was finding some spellings and the concept of pronouns tricky. He really enjoyed and engaged with the activity so I thought I would share it. I have highlighted the spellings to be corrected in bold but you could take them off of bold to make the activity a bit more difficult.
I have made one sheet for only correcting spellings and another for correcting spellings and finding the pronouns.
Answers are included - so the children can self mark and save you time!
