A Day at the Market

This editing-focused grammar worksheet supports students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 as they strengthen proofreading skills, grammatical accuracy, and reading comprehension through a short narrative passage. By reviewing a paragraph about a trip to the market, learners identify and correct incorrect uses of fewer and less, applying grammar rules in a meaningful, story-based context that emphasizes clarity and precision.

• Reading Comprehension: Students read a short narrative carefully to understand context and meaning.
• Writing Clarity & Accuracy: Learners revise sentences to improve correctness and clarity.
