English Writing Composition Meta 8–9 yrs

Revising and editing (age 8+)

修改与编辑（8岁以上）

Description

Read back your own writing critically and independently — notice where meaning is unclear, where a word could be stronger, or where the reader might be confused; make revisions without needing teacher prompts, using your own judgment about what is and isn't working

Mastery Evidence

✓ Reread a paragraph silently and independently identify at least one place where meaning could be clearer or a word choice improved
✓ Make a revision that goes beyond spelling/punctuation — changing a sentence for clarity or effect
✓ Explain in their own words why they changed something ('I thought the reader wouldn't understand what I meant')

Assessment Prompt

Can your child read back something they've written — a story, a report, a letter — and spot a part that isn't quite right or could be better, all by themselves without you or a teacher pointing it out?
