Proofreading is when you read what you have written to make sure that you have used punctuation and capitalization correctly, as well as spelled correctly. You should also check for correct grammar, such as subject and verb agreement.

Proofread each sentence, and rewrite sentences that have mistakes. If the sentence is correct, write "correct" on the line.

1. I want to go too the game, two.

2. The author wrote, "Joseph said, "Look! There is a clue in this book!""
