Language Arts Here are tips to help you write your drafts quickly. As you write, use only one side of the page so you can spread out the pages and see your draft at the same time. Write on every other line to leave room for changes. Cross out words instead of erasing them. Erasing takes too much time and interrupts thinking. If you are not sure how to spell a word, write the first few letters of the word and leave space for the rest of the word.. You can look up the word in a dictionary later.
