Editor in Chief series

Children can improve their spelling, punctuation, and grammar skills in context with the brief exercises in Editor in Chief. A reading selection is accompanied by a picture and a caption. The problem is to identify errors and make proper corrections. An editing checklist is at the front of each book to alert students to types of errors they should watch for.

A substantial “Guide to Grammar, Usage, and Punctuation” is at the back of each book for handy reference. Extensive answer keys identify and explain errors (helpful for us parents who will have trouble finding some of them ourselves).

There are 33 lessons per book which works out to about one per school week in a normal school schedule. The Beginning book is for grades 3 and 4. Books A1 and A2 are recommended for students working at 4th to 5th grade levels. Books B1 and B2 are recommended for those working at 6th to8th grade levels. Books C1 and C2 are recommended for eighth grade level and above.

Editor in Chief volumes are also available as computer programs for either Windows or Macintosh systems. A demo is available at Critical Thinking's web site.
