Check your paragraph for mistakes. Follow these steps.
1 CHECK PROPER NOUNS
Remember to capitalize proper nouns, titles, and initials of people when you write.
2 CHECK YOUR SPELLING
Circle each word that may be misspelled. Look it up in the dictionary or ask for help. Fix the spelling if you need to.
