Literacy

Today you are going to edit and improve your work.

Re-reading is such an important part of writing but we sometimes miss out.

Best practice is to write a couple of sentences, re-read, edit and polish as you go.

Ask yourself:

✓ Does it fulfil its purpose and make sense?

✓ Should some of the sentences be rewritten or tightened?

✓ Are there secretarial errors: spellings, punctuation and grammar?

✓ Should the vocabulary be improved or thinned out?

Watch my video below showing how I would edit and improve a paragraph.
