Remember: Read it back, compare it with the page, and find the slip. Fix it before you hand it in.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
The picnic signGran wrote a note for the picnic sign: Dad has a flask. Tobi typed it quickly and pressed print without reading it back. At the picnic, Zara read the sign out loud: "Dad has a falsk?" Tobi's cheeks went warm, but Gran said, "Everyone slips sometimes. Good typists have a trick." The trick has three steps. Read it back with a finger under each letter. Compare it with the page, letter by letter. Find the slip, tap backspace, fix it, and read the line again. A letter can be missing, extra or swapped. The next day Tobi typed Gran's salad sign, read it back and found the missing a. Now it said salad.
