Revising and Editing Sticky Labels:
ARMS and CUPS

Are you looking for a way to help your students remember the steps for editing and revising? This product can easily be printed onto Avery (R) Name Badge Labels (#5144). Just have students stick these reminders right in their writing folder or notebook!

Children can remember revising and editing steps using mnemonic devices:

*To revise use ARMS (Add, Remove, Move, Substitute).

*To edit, use CUPS (Capitalization, Usage, Punctuation and Spelling).

***Please note that this product is sized to print on Avery Template #5144.***

4. When you finish revising your writing, EDIT using CUPS!
Capitalization: Names, places, I, months, days, and titles
Usage: Check word endings like s, ed and ing
Punctuation: Periods, quotation marks, commas, question marks, exclamation points and apostrophes
Spelling: Circle all the tricky words then check using a dictionary.
