Proofreading Hidden Word Puzzles
Year 5 /6 Spelling Activities
MORE INFO:
PROOFREADING HIDDEN WORD / SPOT THE MISTAKES PUZZLES:
- 6 puzzles
- Fun alternatives to standard worksheets
- Minimal preparation
- Concepts included: homophones and other common spelling errors, full stops, capital letters, question marks, commas, colons, speech marks, proper nouns, missing words, repeated words, tenses, subordinate clauses and embedded clauses
- Included with and without pastel background, which could support some learners to view text more clearly
- Students circle or highlight errors in each line of text. When they find lines with 3 or more errors, they take the corresponding letter from the grid at the bottom of the page
- When finished, rearrange letters to find hidden grammar or punctuation word
- Individuals, pairs or small groups
- For differentiation put lower ability children into pairs, perhaps with a higher ability student
- To save printing, print on card and laminate for repeated use with whiteboard pens
YEAR 5 / YEAR 6 SPELLING HIDDEN WORD / SPOT THE MISTAKES PUZZLES:
- 3 puzzles feature sentences containing multiple words from the Year 5 and Year 6 spelling list, most spelled correctly
- Puzzles work in the same way as the proofreading ones above
- In each puzzle the hidden word is another word from the spelling list
- Versions included without and without background
- For differentiation put lower ability children into pairs, perhaps with a higher ability student. Allow a word list or dictionary for support.
FOUR IN A ROW GAMES:
- 3 boards, each containing 36 sentences which feature a misspelled word from the Year 5 and Year 6 word list
- These words are printed in bold and underlined
- Pairs or individuals play against each other, aiming to correct 4 adjacent spellings in a line - horizontally, vertically or diagonally
- Students roll dice to determine from which column they must pick a sentence
- Print and laminate for regular use
- They were originally designed for A3 printing, and I recommend this, with students writing directly on the board with a thin whiteboard pen. However, it works fine in A4 (you may need to adjust printer settings). If A4, students could write their spelling on a mini whiteboard or paper and put initials in the space on the board if correct
