Once you have completed this, go back to the beginning of your  newspaper report and check spelling, punctuation and grammar. Use previously taught strategies to check your work. 

Tips:

Read your sentences aloud to check that they make sense. Remember to read the sentences as they are written. Don't add words in that are not there. 

 Using kung fu punctuation may help you to spot where you have made any punctuation errors or missed punctuation.  

Clap syllables to help you spell words, check spellings using a dictionary or look in your spelling pack/book.

Finally, you may include a picture with a caption to help describe the recount events.
