EDITORIAL REVIEW

Your students will really pay attention when you use Phunny Stuph. Jokes and humorous urban legends make up all 100 proofreading exercises in this useful book. Use the exercises as transparencies to start class, or photocopy them to pass out to your students.

The errors include a little bit of everything-missing punctuation, spelling mistakes, errors in usage, sentence fragments, and more. Each exercise includes teaching notes and an example of a possible correction. Most exercises are short-just right for quick, frequent lessons that will really help your students improve their skills!

USER REVIEWS

Ver funny stuff!!!
~ Written on May 3, 2008. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

This book has been wonderful to use in my 8th grade Language Arts classes as a daily warm-up. The students enjoy reading and correcting these funny stories way more than anything else I have tried. In fact, I ordered this book because one of my students was sitting with me as I previewed it and was laughing out loud! It is well worth the purchase!

After trying at least four other proofreading exercise programs over the years, I've finally found the winner of the bunch. These proofreading exercises are at just the right level for my middle schoolers, and the humor keeps them engaged. The jokes are helping improve my EL students' reading comprehension, as well. At first, my EL students had to frequently ask for the explanation to a joke. Now, most of them pick up on the context clues that create the humor. I highly recommend "Phunny Stuph."

As a middle school writing teacher, I had trouble getting students interested in proofreading and editing. These proofreading activities are fast and easy to use, and what middle schooler doesn't enjoy a joke to spice up an assignment?
