These were originally used to help a child with special needs who was finding some spellings and the concept of pronouns tricky.

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!
