Six pages. Pages 1 to 4 are checklists for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade: revise to make it better, edit to make it right, with a box for the writer and a box for a friend, and a place to say what changed. Page 5 is feedback a friend fills in. Page 6 is four kinds of change, add, cut, move and change, each with rows to say what was done.
Model revising on a short paragraph of your own before students try: read it aloud, check one item at a time and make a change for each. Keep the checklist for your grade with every draft, and let partners swap papers for the friend column and page 5.
Ask your child to read their writing to you, then go through the checklist together. Praise one thing first, then ask about one thing to make better.
A revise and edit checklist for each grade from 2nd to 5th, plus pages for feedback and changes. Students check their own writing and a friend's, give feedback, and add, cut, move and change to make a draft stronger.
