Excellent Editing — Year 3

Help Year 3 students become purposeful, independent editors with a practical sequence that moves from meaning to accuracy. Students learn to reread a draft, improve clarity and word choice, repair sentence structure, and proofread capitalisation, punctuation, spelling and homophones.

The unit includes explicit teaching, modelled edits, colourful collaborative activities, a board game, targeted worksheets, extended proofreading passages, peer feedback, a two-page assessment and a five-level rubric. Matching red-text answer pages provide efficient marking support while keeping the student pages low-ink and classroom-ready.
