Original: The donkey wags his long ears. Neigh! The horsey prances all around.

Short correction (easy):

  • The donkey wiggles his long ears.
  • The horse prances all around and says, "Neigh!"

Another clear way (each animal makes its own sound):

  • The donkey wiggles his long ears. Hee-haw!
  • The horse prances all around. Neigh!

Why these changes?

  • Start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a period or an exclamation point.
  • Donkeys usually say "hee-haw," and horses say "neigh." So match the sound to the right animal.
  • "Horsey" is a cute word kids use. "Horse" is the normal word, but "horsey" is okay for young children.
  • "Wiggles" or "wags" are both okay, but "wiggles" sounds clearer for ears (many people say "wag" for tails).

If you want, you can pick one corrected version and practice reading it out loud—nice job writing such fun sentences!
