## What is Editor in Chief® Beg 2 (Lite)?

Develop real-life editing skills for superior writing and top test scores!

This fun, highly-effective educational app teaches students in Grades 3-4 grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and critical reading in a standards-based thinking approach instead of the usual drill and practice found in competing products.

This effective method allows students to gain mastery over concepts that will translate into their own writing.

### 5/5 — Challenging Practice

Critical Thinking Co has excellent resources - app or workbook! While I still use print books for practicing editing skills, some students will appreciate the practice without the pencil and paper and benefit from either option.
