Time to Proofread Your Little Letter

This post is for JUNIORS only.




After you've finished your letter, follow the instructions below and proofread. (If you're missing any of the following, fix them as you go along.)
  1. Put a square around the date in the heading.
  2. Circle the colon at the end of the salutation.
  3. Put a number 1 next to your compliment.
  4. Put a number 2 next to your problem/suggestion.
  5. Put a number 3 next to your question.
  6. Underline 3 descriptive details.
  7. Put a star between paragraphs, addresses, salutations, etc. where you've double spaced.
  8. Circle the comma at the end of your complimentary closing.
While you're at it, check for spelling, fragments, run ons, comma usage, and inappropriate content.
