Interactive Marking and Editing Writing

The New Curriculum places an emphasis on children being able to edit their own writing. This system of writing enables the teacher to use an interactive marking approach that guides the child, using marking codes and highlighting (in pink-pink for “think”), towards editing their own writing. By using the codes (see codes on the separate document), teachers are not “taking over” the editing process but “hand over the baton” to the child. We so often correct spelling and punctuation for our children but they need to show they can do this themselves to achieve in the New Curriculum. This is a system I have tried and tested with huge success. Train yourself and your children to use the codes and you are ready to start. Suitable for KS1 and KS2 as codes can be introduced gradually.
An essential resource for any teacher or subject leader wanting to approach writing, editing skills and interactive marking in a way that impresses inspectors!
