Editing Checklist

Google Slide, PDF | 1 page | Grades: 2 - 6

Help your students with the editing process with this editing checklist.

Often students think they have edited their work, but they can easily miss some of the most important aspects.

How to Use This Resource

Students use this checklist by attaching one to a piece of writing when they are ready to begin the editing process. As they check each element, they check it off and initial the checklist when they are done.
