This file includes a Revising and Editing Student Reference page with 37 terms on 2 pages. All words are listed alphabetically. These are words found in the 4th grade, 7th grade, and high school STAAR as well as other STAAR practice materials. This resource goes perfectly with my Revising and Editing Vocabulary Bingo. Students can use the reference page as they are playing. This is also a great resource for students to keep in their composition books or journals and refer back to when working on revising and editing passages.
