3-Read Edit | Revising & Editing Routine | Years 3–6
Do your students hand in writing and call it "finished" the moment they reach the last full stop?
3-Read Edit gives students a simple routine for improving their own writing. They reread it three times, zooming in each time: first the whole text, then each sentence, then each word. It comes with a ready-to-teach introductory lesson, classroom posters, student checklists to glue into books, and 10 practice drafts at two levels, so the routine becomes something students use every week, not a one-off lesson.
Text level → Sentence level → Word level → Rewrite → Share
Students learn to ask one question at each level. Does my whole piece make sense? Does each sentence flow? Is every word the best choice? The teaching slides model the routine on a shared draft about a camping trip that improves on screen as the class edits it, before students practise joining simple sentences and upgrading weak words on mini whiteboards.
What's Included?
- 14 ready-to-teach Google Slides introducing the routine, with speaker notes
- Four A4 posters: an overview and one for each level, with before-and-after examples
- Student checklists as bookmarks (3 per page) or strips (6 per page) to glue into books
- 10 practice drafts across five text types: narrative, persuasive, informative, procedure and recount
- Two levels of every draft, so you can choose what suits your students
- Suggested answers and a model rewrite for every draft
- Teacher guide with the routine, two lesson plans, teaching tips and curriculum links
Why 3-Read Edit?
- Gives students a clear process for revising, so editing isn't just fixing spelling
- Teaches students to revise the big things first, then polish the small things
- Works with any writing your students are already doing, including Quick Writes
- Level 1 and Level 2 drafts make differentiation simple
- Students edit on the draft and rewrite in their books, with no extra worksheets to manage
Pair it with Hello Primary Quick Writes for a weekly piece of writing to 3-Read Edit.
