An Editing and Revising Anchor Chart for Students

It can be extremely satisfying to write that final word in a piece of writing, put down your pen and celebrate being done! However, the writing process is not yet over. One of the most important steps in the writing process (that our students tend to forget) is revising and editing. This allows for adjustments and improvements, increasing the chances of producing the best possible product.  

Empower your students with the essential skills they need for effective revising and editing using our comprehensive one-page editing and revising anchor chart. This resource is designed to simplify the revising and editing process, guiding students through key steps to refine their writing with confidence and clarity.

This revise and edit anchor chart reminds students to complete the following steps when editing a piece of writing:

  • Look for and correct any spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors. 
  • Look for and remove any unnecessary words or phrases. 
  • Look for and correct any sentences that don’t make sense or the meaning of the sentence is unclear. 
  • Check that you have organised your content using the correct text structure. 
  • Ensure that your handwriting is legible and can be easily deciphered by others.

Using these guidelines, students will gain the confidence and skills to elevate their writing, transforming drafts into polished final pieces.
