Editing & Proofreading Checklist for Students - COPS Method #3444995 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration features a stern but friendly cartoon police officer gesturing “stop” beside a clear C-O-P-S editing checklist: Capitals at sentence starts and names, logical Organization, correct Punctuation (endings and internal), and accurate Spelling using word wall or dictionary. The speech bubble “Does it make sense?” reinforces comprehension checking alongside mechanical editing. Designed for classroom use, it supports student-led revision and builds editing confidence.

Commonly used in elementary and middle school ELA classrooms as a visual anchor chart, digital slide, or printable worksheet during writing workshops; supports formative assessment and peer/self-editing routines.
