Your acceptance letter has arrived! There's just one problem.
Congratulations! Your invitation to Wandermere Academy of the Arcane Arts has been delivered... by a Glimmer-Sprite, a tiny, glowing creature that unfortunately finds parchment much tastier than woolly jumpers. As the sprite flew to your window, it nibbled through the letter, creating a series of Magical Malfunctions. Before you can accept your place and head to the misty docks, you'll need to use your editing skills to repair the damage.
This free magical grammar activity is a quick, engaging way to practise sentence editing — perfect for the first week of school, end-of-year celebrations, or any time your class needs a high-engagement grammar task with zero preparation.

- Sentence boundaries (capital letters and full stops)
- Commas in a list

Each sentence has a bold letter. Collect them all to crack the spell and repair the letter!
