Double Negative Rewrite

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen grammar accuracy by identifying and correcting double negatives in sentences. Through careful reading, error identification, sentence rewriting, and editing practice, learners underline both negative words that cause confusion and then revise each sentence to follow standard English rules using only one negative per idea.

Learning Goals

• Identifying Double Negatives (Grades 4-6) – Students recognize when two negative words create an error in meaning.
• Grammar: Negative Words and Clarity – Learners understand how correct negative usage improves sentence meaning.
• Sentence Rewriting Skills – Students practice rewriting sentences clearly and accurately.
• Editing and Revising for Standard English – The activity reinforces proper conventions in written communication.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with upper-elementary ELA grammar and editing standards.
• Two-Step Editing Process – Underlining first, then rewriting, builds strong proofreading habits.
• Focus on Precision – Encourages careful reading and thoughtful correction rather than guessing.
• Flexible Use – Ideal for grammar lessons, independent practice, homework, or editing workshops.
