Our students have been working hard at revising their work before publishing. In general, revision is about BIG changes; words, sentences, and ideas. Revision happens before editing and often results in a "messy" draft with arrows and asterisks showing where new sentences and paragraphs will be added.
We have been using this checklist to go over our work (and looking at peer work as well). Ask your child to explain the items to you and maybe use it to look at professional writing during your read aloud/reading at home time.
The list is linked to a word document that you can print so you can work on revision and sentence fluency at home.
Have fun!
