A student writes: 'The dog runned fast.' What should the paraeducator point out?

'Ran' is the irregular past tense of 'run'; 'runned' is a common but incorrect form.
Which revision strategy involves a student reading their work aloud to catch errors?
Answer: Oral rereading
Reading aloud helps students hear awkward phrasing, missing words, and grammatical errors they might overlook when reading silently.
A paraeducator is helping a student add supporting details to a paragraph. Which question is MOST helpful?
Answer: Can you give an example or evidence that supports this idea?
Asking for examples or evidence directly guides the student to elaborate and strengthen their argument.
Which of the following BEST describes the purpose of a concluding sentence in a paragraph?
Answer: To restate the main idea and signal the end of the paragraph
A concluding sentence wraps up the paragraph by restating or summarizing its main idea.
A student's essay lacks transitions between paragraphs. What should the paraeducator suggest?
Answer: Add transitional words or phrases such as 'furthermore,' 'however,' or 'in addition'
Transition words and phrases create logical flow and show the relationship between ideas across paragraphs.
