A single-page proofreading checklist walks students through the COPS acronym — Capitals, Organization, Punctuation, and Spelling — with three concrete checkpoints under each letter, such as capitalizing the beginning of every sentence and people's names, keeping different ideas in different paragraphs with a topic sentence and consistent verb tense, using an end mark and commas correctly, and checking unfamiliar spellings in a dictionary or with a teacher or friend. Framed as a "STOP and check COPS!!" reminder, the card is meant to be kept at a student's desk or pasted into a writing folder so it can be consulted every time a draft is finished, turning self-editing into a repeatable four-step routine rather than a one-time reminder from the teacher. Because it is a generic checklist rather than content tied to a specific text or grade-level skill, it can be reused across many different writing assignments throughout the year. Once students have run through this self-check, a peer editing checklist extends the same review process by having a classmate check spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and formatting a second time.
