Team Up for Better Writing

Revising means improving your writing by making big changes, while editing fixes smaller errors. Peer editing is when you help a friend review their work—and they do the same for you!

Why Peer Editing Works

Fresh eyes spot mistakes you might miss. Plus, giving feedback helps you become a better writer.

How to Peer Edit

• Read for understanding: Does it make sense?
• Check for clear ideas and strong evidence
• Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors

Tips

• Be kind and specific with your feedback
• Ask questions if something is unclear

Real-World Connection

Many jobs require teamwork and feedback, so these skills are useful beyond school!
