I have a red bike. · Sentences start with a capital letter, and the word 'I' is always capital too.
To find and fix mistakes · Checking helps you spot mistakes like a missing capital letter or full stop before you hand your writing in.
Faux · 'Yesterday' places this visit in the past, so change 'go' to 'went'.
The first word needs a capital letter · Every sentence starts with a capital letter, so 'the' should be 'The'.
play should be played · 'Yesterday' tells us this already happened, so 'play' should change to 'played' to match.
Talk about it and think about changing that part · Talking with a partner helps you find parts to improve. You do not need to throw out your whole story, just fix that part.
Ask a partner to read it too · Even careful writers miss things. A partner's fresh eyes can catch mistakes or suggest ways to make the writing clearer.
see and play · The story starts in the past with 'walked', so 'see' and 'play' should be 'saw' and 'played' to stay consistent.
