COPS Editing & Proofreading Checklist for Students and Writers #223570 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration features a smiling police officer holding up a hand to signal “stop and check,” alongside a clear acronym-based checklist: C for Capitals (sentence beginnings), O for Order/Organization (logical flow), P for Punctuation (periods, commas, quotation marks), and S for Spelling (using word walls or dictionaries). The visual uses speech bubbles and bold icons to reinforce each step, making it accessible for K-12 learners and ESL students.

Used in classroom handouts, writing centers, digital learning modules, and teacher resources to scaffold student revision skills; supports Common Core writing standards and formative assessment of draft quality.
