When we edit our work we have to read it heaps of times! We check all of these things.
- Read it out loud - does it make sense? Add or remove what you need to.
- Read it out loud - where do I stop to take a breath? Put in your full stops and capital letters.
- Read it to check for capital letters - specific people, place or thing.
- See what detail you can add to each event. Are you missing any of the 5Ws? Can you add something extra to your personal comment?
- Is there anything you need to take out? This might be things that aren't related to story, or that you've repeated.
- Check your spelling. Underline any words you think might be incorrect - sound them out as carefully as you can, then check them using a word list or dictionary.
