C.U.P.S.
I bought several writing units from Rundee's Room last year, which I highly recommend!
Rundee's Room has a great poster that uses an acronym to helps the kids with editing their work called "CUPS." It stands for capitals, usage and grammar, punctuation and spelling. I taught my children to write the acronym on their class writing assignments and on their MCAS long composition. As I introduce each skill they will use that color highlighter.
I made a set of "CUPS" to introduce the acronym this year. Each letter has a different color high lighter. The cups are from the Dollar Tree and the letters are vinyl stickers from Target. I hope this will help my friends!
