Ever since I have introduced these editing stations into my lessons for English the quality of editing and improving has increased massively! Each station has a selection of resources that accompany it. For example, for spelling we have the Year 5/6 spelling words and dictionaries available.

Slides to support lower KS2 children in editing and improving their writing. To begin the class ‘stops’ at each editing station together and we model how to carry out each activity. As they become more secure and independent, the children can move from one station to the next in groups as a carousel. Easily adapted to different ages.

Here is a useful and effective way of teaching children to improve sentences using a colour-coded system - learning about aspects of Grammar and applying them to the writing process. They can also add in aspects that are missing in their own writing which improves the quality and effect. This gives children something concrete to do when editing and improving that is purposeful, clear and fun to do and they love having a special set of pens!

Interactive teaching activity. Each slide contains three simple sentences, which can be improved by adding or changing adjectives and/or adverbs. Underneath each sentence, there is a live text box that can be typed in while the presentation is running. This can be used to model the activity or crowd source ideas. There are supporting worksheets, including editable versions, included.

A great resource to help children edit and improve their writing. My class have loved this and it has improved the quality of their writing.
