Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up affect and effect: in Grade 4, remember A is for Action verb (affect) and E is for End result noun (effect).
• Confusing accept and except: accept means to receive while except means to leave out — Grade 4 writers often swap them in lists and apologies.
• Choosing the wrong meaning of a homograph because students ignore context clues; Grade 4 readers must check the surrounding sentence to decide which meaning fits.
