Editing and Revising for Clarity

Polishing Your Writing

Editing and revising are the final, crucial steps in the writing process. Editing focuses on sentence-level issues, while revising looks at the overall structure and clarity.

Steps to Edit and Revise

  1. Read Aloud: Catch awkward phrasing or unclear sentences.
  2. Check Structure: Make sure paragraphs flow logically.
  3. Eliminate Wordiness: Use concise language.
  4. Fix Grammar and Spelling: Look for small errors that can distract readers.

In Practice

As a teacher, clear writing helps you communicate effectively with students, families, and colleagues. Editing and revising ensure your message is understood.

Examples

  • Rewriting a confusing sentence to make your point easier to understand.

  • Correcting spelling mistakes in a parent newsletter.

In a Nutshell

Editing and revising make your writing clearer and more effective.
