The following is a selection of websites about common writing errors. The errors are obvious mistakes to readers and markers, so they are important to review and correct. By the end of Grade 12, they should no longer be a problem!
I have organized the links according to when I recommend these sites to my students, but you are encouraged to review all of them.
